The land tortoise models are my favorite watches. They are the ultimate turtle case models. They are shaped like a regular turtle but shrunk down slightly to the perfect size. The bezel is slimmed down to give the watch a sleek look. The compass bezel to me looks better and more sleek that typical timing markers. These watches are thin compared to other dive watches. The Hour markers are not the typical circles and this give a more sophisticated look. The watch strap is 20 mm. The cutout in the case for the strap is flat so there is no gap between the strap and the case. The shape of the case is just perfect and these watches melt into your wrist. The color options are really cool. I have the blue, the beige green, and the black on the bracelet. I have this model coming now. I am almost dreading Seiko coming out with more Land tortoises as, as my wallet will get lighter and lighter. If you like a dive watch look, but want something a little more sleek and a little smaller, buy one of these, you will not be disappointed.
it has sapphire crystal, not hardlex

Couldn’t agree more! One of the best watches for the money!
have you found any metal bands that fit the land tortoises besides straight end link
@@briantran7207 I bought an srph27 which is a model that comes with a metal bracelet. I can swap it back and forth with me other land tortoise models.
That's a great looking watch
Turtle alpinist best describes this great piece
wonderful
Great video. The watch is very nice too.
Pity NSEW isn’t lumed. And I think this could have been done with the choice of a dive bezel. Great looking watch love it.
Hardlex? My other Land Tortoises have saphire. The special edition ones have Hardlex?
It has a sapphire crystal.
Yes, my mistake, Sapphire Crystal on this one
Lol that watch is so cool 😎
Big time cool!
It's says US Special Edition. Does this mean that it's only available in the US?
Friction bezel yeah naa.
