My first automatic watch. It’s a seiko save the ocean special edition with some nice touches. Sapphire crystal, ceramic bezel insert and a super neat face that gives the impression of looking up from deep water at some manta rays swimming by. I believe it’s referred to as the dark manta as there is a lighter version. Case is called the samurai for its sharp angles. This model is a king samurai thanks to sapphire and date bubble. Case kinda reminds me of the mitsubishi starion from the 80s. 4R35 movement seems to be about 2 min fast after 10 days give or take.
I love that it represents no batteries or internet connection. A small link to a better time.
