The Seiko 'Save the Ocean' Diver I Didn’t Expect to Like Finally Gets It Right
The review of the Seiko 'Save the Ocean' Diver highlights an unexpected connection with the latest 1965 Heritage Diver limited edition, which features a color inspired by the waters around Okinawa called Tranquil Teal. Unlike previous models that felt overly thematic, this watch presents a clean sunburst dial, complemented by a gray bezel and clear white indices. The only drawback noted is the date window's lack of color matching, which makes it more prominent than desired. The watch maintains practical features, including a 40mm super-hard-coated stainless steel case, a 300-meter water resistance rating, and a 6R55 movement with a three-day power reserve. The introduction of a new microadjust clasp enhances its practicality, making it suitable for everyday wear. Although Seiko is producing 4,000 pieces, the emphasis remains on accessible design rather than scarcity, with a price of $1,400 reflecting the updates. Overall, the design feels more grounded, making this edition stand out in the 'Save the Ocean' series.
