Seiko SWR103P1 – Tank Apfelgrün - Japanese Microbrands Edition Taucheruhr known for its low powerI took the base model of this Seiko SWR103P1 and combined it with a curated apple green leather strap. Not to artificially "upgrade" the watch, but to show how much its character changes when you deliberately give it a new direction. I liked this combination so much that I included it in the shop as the "Japanese Microbrands Special Edition" at the regular RRP, with no surcharge. So you get the original watch but including an additional leather strap.
