Seiko SRPE93 Prospex Turtle
A patrol officer in the Dallas area, just clear of a traffic stop and noticing how much lume was coming off the newest watch in the collection. It was picked up at Fort Bliss. "Being PD and Army makes you appreciate the little things that can uplift you. Even if it's as 'silly' as a watch that only matters to yourself." On the wrist, a Seiko SRPE93 Prospex Turtle.

Seiko SRPE93 Prospex Turtle
The Turtle is a nickname collectors gave the Seiko 6309, a cushion cased diver released in 1976 and rated to 150 meters. The rounded, flat case earned the name, and the 6309 stayed in production for 12 years.
Seiko brought it back in January 2016 under the Prospex banner, with the water resistance raised to 200 meters. The SRPE93 is the black dial, black bezel version on a silicone strap: a 45mm steel case 13.4mm thick, a Hardlex crystal, and the caliber 4R36 automatic, 24 jewels at 21,600 beats per hour, with about 41 hours of power reserve, hand winding and a day and date display.
The lume is Seiko's LumiBrite, on the hands and the hour markers.
