Seiko Prospex 1970 Diver Reissue Automatic Watch, Turquoise Dial

You're idling at a red light on Big Spring Street, visor down against the glare, when something turquoise catches your own eye. It's your wrist. For a second you forget how far Midland sits from any ocean.

You've never been the type to keep spare batteries in a kitchen drawer, swapping one out every time a watch goes quiet. This Seiko doesn't ask that of you. Its automatic movement winds itself from nothing more than the turn of your wrist on the steering wheel, the lift of a coffee cup, the ordinary motion of your day. All that sits under a dial the color of water you won't see again until your next trip to the coast.

This is Seiko's Luxe Prospex Diver, an automatic watch built on the 8L caliber movement, which self-winds from wrist motion and runs without a battery. The dial is turquoise. The case follows the brand's diver-style design.

You'll know the time the second you lift your wrist, no battery, no fuss, and out here that turquoise is the closest thing to open water you've got.
