Seiko Prospex Save the Ocean Special Edition Seiko Dive Watch Review
Rebecca Strauss
Rebecca has been an avid traveler and scuba diver for many years. She began her editorial career by updating travel guides, which took her all over...
The mid-range Seiko comes in at around $525, and it’s a great choice for those seeking a classic-looking timepiece. Though it’s tagged as a “save the ocean” special edition, this diver aesthetically evokes the shimmering blues and whites of an icy environment and the patterns of penguin footprints in snow. That makes sense, as the SRPG57 first proved its mettle as essential gear for the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE).
Made for unforgiving environments, the watch features a 24-jewel automatic movement that beats at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour. The power reserve lasts approximately 41 hours, and wearers have the option to wind manually.
The screwdown crown and caseback, LumiBrite hands, unidirectional bezel, and (650 feet) 200 m water resistance are all par for the course.

Things we like:

- Excellent power reserve
Things we don't like:
- Penguin tracks on the graphics aren’t very visible
- The bracelet is pins and needles so resizing can be hard
Take a moment to look at this.
