The turtle and the shark
Despite the decorative dial inspired by the original Jaws poster, which has become one of the most copied and parodied movie posters of all time, this is a fully functional, high-performance dive watch.
The case design is just as functional as it was in 1976, only a year after Jaws was released. The elliptical turtle shell shape helps protect the case, prevents snags and increases hydrodynamics.
This Prospex diver has 200m water resistance, a screw-down crown, a unidirectional dive bezel and lume-inset hands and hour markers. It comes on a silicone pin-buckle dive strap.
Inside the 44mm “shell” is a Seiko caliber 4R36 automatic movement with a 41-hour power reserve. This generation of Seiko’s modern workhorse movement can be hand-wound, in addition to automatic winding.
