As an enlistee in the United States Air Force, Corey wanted a watch that he could wear his whole career in the military; the Seiko SRP 777 checked all the boxes for him. He appreciates the watch for its history and its appearance in movies such as Apocalypse Now and The Abyss. He looks forward to passing on the watch to his children one day.
