The SRPE05 is known as the "King Turtle" since it is sold with some key upgrades, particularly the bezel and crystal, which are not found on the regular Seiko Turtle models whether its the 2016 reissue the SRP777 or older models.

00:00 Introduction
The Seiko King Turtle SRPE05 was introduced in 2020. Its design is largely identical to the previous Seiko Turtle dive watches that came before it except for its patterned green dial, black ceramic bezel, and sapphire crystal with cyclops.

00:37 First Look & Case Dimensions
The SRPE05 is quite handsome thanks to its green tones and tried-and-true design.

Case dimensions are:
- 44.3mm in diameter
- 47mm lug-to-lug
- 13mm thick (tall)
- 22mm lug size (strap size)

While the dimensions are large, the flat design of the case makes it feel a lot more compact than it appears on paper. Additionally, the case is not very tall so this also helps the watch feel sleeker on the wrist. Still, it is a sports watch by nature and sports watches are rarely small.

02:47 Steel Case Details
The case is completely crafted of stainless steel with a brushed finish on its top and a high-polish finish on its side and underside. The case has lug holes and the point where the strap attached to the case is "deep" into the profile of the case itself which also helps the watch to wear more compactly.

This case along with the screw-down crown give the watch a 200m water resistance.

03:08 SRPE05 Black Ceramic Bezel & Sapphire Crystal
This bezel is also in steel to match the case but it has a grid pattern on its outer flank that helps when rotating the bezel. Most importantly, the bezel is also marked by a black ceramic diver's scale insert with silver minute calibrations and a luminous pip. The clicking of the bezel is smooth and satisfactory.

The crystal on this SRPE05 King Turtle is a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. Sapphire is known as the standard for luxury timepieces (especially swiss watches) and it's a very nice detail for this SRPE05. Additionally, Seiko has included a cyclops that helps to read the day and date complication on the dial.

05:35 King Turtle Green "Grenade" Dial
Seiko refers to this dial as a khaki green dial. Given its pattern, the dial has earned this watch the King Turtle "Grenade" moniker. However, I believe the inspiration for this dial is Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watches and their famous Tapisserie dial texture.

The dial has applied hour indices with silver outlines and green Seiko LumiBrite luminous fills. The hands are also in a nice polished silver-tone also with a lot of lume.

07:44 Green Silicone Strap
The green strap on this SRPE05 may be one of its most overlooked characteristics but it is one of my favorite. The strap is very soft and flexible and makes for very light and comfortable wear. It also has a matching brushed steel keeper and tang buckle.

09:00 Seiko 4R36 Movement
Powering the SRPE05 King Turtle is a self-winding Seiko 4R36 movement that boasts a 41-hour power reserve, hand-winding function, and hacking seconds.
