KMII shares an engaging account of subjecting his Seiko Prospex SRPA21 PADI 'Turtle' to extreme cold weather testing in Norway. Inspired by fellow Purists, KMII documents the watch's resilience against sub-zero temperatures and ice. This post not only showcases the durability of the Prospex line but also highlights the community's adventurous spirit in putting watches to the test beyond typical use.
So I jumped into the fold with a Seiko SRPA21 - the newly re-launched 'Turtle' in its PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) form. I never really noticed that the Pepsi colour scheme closely followed the Norwegian flag, nor did I ever expect to do some extreme winter testing of the watch in Norway, when I got it. 
I got inspired by some other Purists, who have left their watches out overnight for some interesting snow and ice pictures and wanted to see, if the Prospex brand promise holds - i.e. will the watch survive a cold spell as well as it does diving in the depths of the oceans. 
To make it more comfortable, I tucked it under a thin blanket of snow...
Pretty crystals on the sapphire, too 
to bring your own fun to Trysil!
Although I have to say the place is really pretty! Good for taking watch pictures, too
Very nice shots by the way ;-) Best wishes Alkiro
And congrats on your first dive watch. Now, for the next test, D and I will strap you into a dive suit and throw you on top of a sunken galley. I know just the place, not too extreme, 20-30m depth.
Very cool shots Yours D
Do the 50 shades of white on one of yours, too!
