The title of the article may sound chaotic, but the truth is that SEIKO has released two models in the Prospex series, which includes special models of replica watches for use in water on land or in the air. The large X on the dial is characteristic of this series. And is a sign that this watch meets the demands placed on a watch that should be part of diving equipment.
For SEIKO, the next logical continuation is the whole series of watches with the label “SAVE THE OCEAN”. Seiko donates a portion of the profits from the sale of these models to the non-profit center of Fafian Cousteau. A renowned oceanographer dedicated to saving the oceans (if you’re familiar with the last name, he grandson) oceanographer Jacques-Yves Cousteau).
Let’s take a look at the Beast first. It is another model in the probably less popular line of Seiko replica MONSTER diving watches. The case and bezel have retained the advantages of this model. It is particularly worth noting the easy-to-read and excellently controllable bezel. As well as the very short legs for attaching the bracelet, which make this watch usable even for individuals with a smaller wrist circumference.
The most interesting part of this watch is the dial, which is interesting for several elements. The first is the color of the dial, which gradually changes from almost white towards. The center to dark blue in the area of the minute indexes. This change is fluid and mysterious, just like the Antarctic Ocean.
Another admirable element is the plasticity of the dial. It is admirable that this gadget, which until recently was the privilege of only. The most luxurious models of the Grand Seiko series, made it into this special edition. But SEIKO was not satisfied with only a beautiful and faithful representation of the structure of the ice, but also added cute prints of penguin feet. Here, allow me to make a small digression and connect with the Czech genius Jára Cimrman. Who in his game Conquest of the North Pole unforgettably portrayed the fact that penguins live only at the South Pole. A remarkable detail is the polished surface of the hands, which again refers to the texture of ice.
The second Antarctic model is the famous tuna. It is a slightly different concept from a dive watch. Featuring a very careful cage around the bezel and a strictly round case. This construction divides watch lovers into two camps. Some love them and others hate them. Seiko crafted this dial in the same spirit as the aforementioned Monster, so we’ll just focus on the differences in the hope that those who support marine research can decide which model is better for him. Who should choose a Tuna: Those who can tolerate a very atypical case shape, do not need a day of the week display, prefer less massive indexes and hands (someone simply does not bite the hour hand of a Monster), prefer a rubber strap to a stainless steel bracelet (Tunas are making it almost half as light as the Monster). best replica watches
All in all, I have to say that this special edition was once again a great success for Seiku. This is an example of the fact that even with the proper use of color, very interesting results can be obtained that catch the eye at first sight.
In addition, thanks to the texture, it is guaranteed that the owner of the watch will not just get tired, because the appearance of the dial will change depending on the lighting conditions. One really never ceases to wonder what Seiko is able to offer at a given price level.
