Last Friday, October 26th, Seiko officially presented the launch of the Seiko Turtle Dawn Gray Series line and also the Seiko Samurai Dawn Gray Series.
As usual, for the last 3 years, Seiko has been exploring possibilities and diverse combinations of colors and glow effects on the dial of the Seiko Turtle and Seiko Samurai line (possibly the brand’s best-selling line).
This time the colors explored were gray and orange, which you will soon understand exactly why.
Seiko Turtle Dawn Gray Series: Sunset on the Ocean
The colors of the new Seiko Turtle Dawn Gray clearly refer to the sunset under the ocean. The color scheme of the gray dial + the gray and orange bezel was clearly inspired by this moment.
Remembering that the ocean is the official home of the Seiko Prospex line, as it is a line of replica watches dedicated to diving.
“More than limited” edition
Thauro Relógios Blog is not just about good news.
The first news that will certainly not please most Seiko Watch minds is that the Dawn Gray line is EXTREMELY LIMITED!
Only 2018 units were manufactured with the reference SRPD01K1. Another point that is not very motivating is the fact that it is a Watch that Seiko has launched exclusively for the European (EU) market. Therefore, no official sale here in Brazil.
Consult the official website of Seiko in Brazil, we can see that we have nothing about the launch of the Seiko Turtle & Samurai Dawn Gray Series.
Now that the “good news” has been passed on (laughs), we have news that is really interesting. If you are reading this article and we are still close to the release date, you have an opportunity to secure a unit for your collection.
Thauro Relógios has a pre-sale for only 8 units of the Seiko Turtle Dawn Gray Series, click here to find out the details.
Let’s talk about Technical Specifications
I’m talking more intimately about the Seiko Turtle Dawn Gray Series, as it’s already a Watch I’ve known since 2015, when I had my first copy (at the time, a Turtle PADI).
