I haven’t posted a WOTD yet so thought I would add one today. This is one of my favorites in my small collection. Happy Wednesday everyone.

This Thanksgiving holiday, I visited my mom, and during my time with her she gave me something incredibly meaningful—my stepdad’s old watch. He passed a few years ago, and life just hasn’t been the same without him. He wore this watch everywhere, and you can see his story in every scratch and mark. I can’t put into words how grateful and excited I am to receive this. I’ll wear it proudly, just as he did.

Seiko’s “Turtle” is one of the most universally recognized dive watches and has been available in one iteration or the other since 1976. It is renowned for its blend of respectable performance, welcome affordability, and distinctive look. With its latest release, Seiko is doing its part to help save the aquatic reptiles that represent its famous dive watch. Through an ongoing partnership with Cairns Turtle Rehabilitation Centre, an Australian organization that rescues and rehabilitates sea turtles, Seiko is sponsoring and documenting the recovery process for a turtle named Kame. To raise awareness and funds for CTRC and Kame — which means turtle in Japanese — Seiko created the limited edition Prospex SRPM04K ‘Kame.’ It is a “Turtle” inspired by the natural beauty of Fitzroy Island, a sea turtle sanctuary located along the Great Barrier Reef. The Seiko Prospex SRPM04K `Kame` is available exclusively at boutiques and online in Seiko’s Australian and New Zealand markets for A$995 (~$650). It is a limited edition of 1,000 pieces, and each watch comes with an additional dark blue rubber dive strap with a brushed steel pin buckle.

This Russian Diver Invicta timepiece impresses with its bold 53mm design, blending rose gold and gunmetal tones in a rugged yet refined package featuring a removable cage accent and luminous detailing. Its Swiss-quartz chronograph movement, flame fusion crystal, and 3280-foot water resistance make it as functional as it is striking—a true statement watch built for adventure and precision.

Hoping this can be a fun little post, all you need to do is post the number of watches that you have in your collection. Let's add them up and see how many watches are out there. I have 32
