Use Discount Code "RelativeTime" for $40 off.
Merkur's changed something on their site recently which makes it harder to use the code. In the cart, it seems to automatically add some other promotion. In the upper right under "Cart Summary" click on the drop-down menu and select "Don't Want To Use". At which point the coupon code area should appear and you can enter the code.

Today we are taking a look at one of the better vintage homage watches I've run across. Although it's not an homage of a specific watch, but rather seems to be a combination of the classic Captain Willard and the Modern Turtle. This bright and vibrant orange diver by Merkur also brings a ton of value with some nice upgrades from a standard turtle as well.

This Merku Oceanmaster Vintage Turtle homage has a Domed Sapphire Crystal, Sapphire bezel, custom Handset, and all powered by the same Seiko NH35A movement.

In Addition, I'm also an affiliate with AVI-8, Armilla, Aliexpress, Spinnaker, eBay, Jomashop, Meranom, and Phoibos.
