Excellent field watch for the money. The Ratio Quest Lewis & Clark RTQ015 wears very comfortably at 39.6 mm and only 9.5 mm thick. The green dial has a distinctive military look and excellent daytime readability, while the sapphire crystal and 100 m water resistance are impressive at this price. The olive NATO strap completes the rugged look perfectly. Fantastic value and a very satisfying purchase.
Seiko Prospex SRPC25J1 “Save the Ocean” Turtle Automatic Diver 200M – Made in Japan
Seiko Prospex SRPC25J1 “Save the Ocean” Turtle Automatic Diver 200M – Made in Japan
The Seiko Prospex SRPC25J1 Save the Ocean combines one of Seiko’s most recognizable dive-watch designs with a spectacular ocean-inspired blue dial.
Part of Seiko’s celebrated “Save the Ocean” collection, the SRPC25J1 features a deep blue sunburst dial that shifts dramatically with the light, ranging from almost black at the edges to brilliant electric blue toward the center. Oversized LumiBrite hour markers and Seiko’s unmistakable diver hands provide excellent visibility, while the black-and-blue rotating bezel completes the aquatic look.
The watch uses Seiko’s legendary Turtle-style cushion case, a design descended from the professional Seiko divers of the 1970s. Despite its substantial presence, the rounded case profile and short lugs make the Turtle remarkably comfortable on the wrist.
Inside is Seiko’s automatic 4R36 movement, offering both manual winding and hacking seconds, along with a practical day-date display at 3 o’clock. As the J1 version, this example is marked “Made in Japan” on the dial.
Built as a genuine diver rather than simply a dive-inspired watch, the SRPC25J1 offers 200 meters of water resistance, a screw-down crown, unidirectional rotating bezel, strong LumiBrite illumination and a stainless-steel bracelet.

Why collectors like it: The SRPC25J1 brings together three things Seiko collectors tend to chase—the iconic Turtle case, the striking early Save the Ocean aesthetic, and the desirable J1 Made-in-Japan designation. The dial is the star of the show; photographs rarely capture just how much its blue tone changes under different lighting.
