Seiko King Turtle
The cushion case on this watch has been in continuous service since the 1970s, when the Seiko 6309 became the unofficial dive watch of an entire generation of soldiers, sailors and working divers. The community named the shape the Turtle, and Seiko eventually stopped fighting the nickname.
The King is the upgraded modern take: sapphire crystal and a ceramic bezel insert on the same friendly case that made the original famous.
Plenty of watches have worn the Vietnam to now service arc as a costume. The Turtle lineage actually lived it, one duffel bag at a time.
