Seiko watches are great candidates for custom mod projects, from the basic SKX models to the SNK (Urchin) and SRP (Turtle) models. For the sake of this modification, our Seiko of choice is the Prospex SRP779 (New Turtle):
- 21,600 vibrations per hour
- Power reserve: approximately 41 hours
- 24 jewels
- Day/Date calendar
- Screwdown crown and caseback
- Case diameter: 45.0mm Stainless Steel
- Water Resistance: Diver’s Watch to 200 meters (660 feet).
Our modifications will consist of:
- Replacing the standard bezel with a polished steel coin edge bezel.
- Replacing the standard elapsed timing aluminum bezel insert with a dual time batman ceramic insert (glossy surface and engraved numerals/markings).
- Replacing the Hardlex Crystal with a Double Dome Blue AR Sapphire Crystal.
