No, I am not talking about TMNT. :) I am talking about the Seiko 6306/6309 Diver watch AKA the Turtle. Yes, Seiko have decided to reissue or modernize the 6306/6309. The original 6306/6309 were issued in 1976 and stopped in 1988. Well, the 6306 was and the 6309 stopped in 1981.
I had the original turtle but have since sold it.
Anyway, fast forward to 2016 and Seiko will reissue the turtle and there will be 4 models. Well, 6 models, but we will get to that soon. The models:
