Supercool: Seiko Save the Ocean Antarctica

Anyone who has seen the documentary film 'March of the penguins' immediately fell in love with these fun, loyal and exceptional birds. Unfortunately, the environment of these emperor penguins is under threat. The latest Seiko Save the ocean watches are therefore entirely dedicated to this special area: Antarctica.

Seiko Save the Ocean watches

We previously wrote extensively about the various Seiko Save the Ocean watches in this article. Where the previous Save the Ocean edition focused on the stingray from warmer waters, this time the penguin is the source of inspiration for two special edition watches.

The latest addition to this series of Seiko watches is entirely devoted to Antarctica. Because this icy piece of earth is inextricably linked to the Southern Ocean - the habitat of the emperor penguin - is threatened by global warming.

Super cool design

As in 2020, Seiko has chosen to give the 'Monster' and 'Baby Tuna' models a Save the ocean makeover. The design is really super cool and the perfect cool down on hot summer days.

The dials have a fine pattern of gray-blue ice crystals as if you just took the watch out of the freezer. On this icy surface you can see the footprints of a penguin.

SRPG59K1 Baby Tuna

The SRPG59K1 is based on a famous Seiko design, the Baby Tuna. It is a direct descendant of one of Seiko's most iconic models from the 1970s. Due to the shape of the strong case built around a titanium core, the watch was nicknamed Tuna Can. This model is much simpler and smaller (hence: Baby), but still has the same look as the vintage Tuna watches.

With a size of 43 mm and short lugs, the watch is - despite its thickness - very pleasant to wear and also suitable for adventurous ladies! What certainly contributes to the wearing comfort is the soft light grey-blue silicone strap, which, due to the cool, fresh look, certainly fits with a summer holiday outfit.

Naturally, the SRPG59K1 powered by a 4R35 automatic movement is ISO-certified 200 meters water resistant and features a unidirectional rotating bezel.

SRPG57K1 Monster

The second model in this series is based on yet another signature model from Seiko; The Monster. This watch got this nickname because of its sharp, aggressive design and hefty size.

The SRPG57K1 is based on the SRPE27K1 Padi edition from 2020. It is basically the same watch with a lug-to-lug size of 49.4mm. Despite this, the hefty watch is highly wearable as the case and bracelet are well designed and provide a comfortable fit.

This Monster is powered by an automatic 4R36 movement, the day-date version of the 4R35. For extra good legibility of this date, a magnifying bubble has been placed in the crystal, the teardrop shape of which further enhances the icy appearance of the watch.
