As you may have heard if you are a twitter<\/a> fan or fan of the teenage mutant ninja turtles<\/a> that today is in fact #worldturtleday<\/a>. It is being sponsored this year by the non profit organisation called\u00a0American Tortoise Rescue<\/a>. Th rescue centre for American Tortoises was established in 1990 and since then they have been on a mission to protect all of the species of tortoise and turtle in America. This year actually marks the 17th annual World Turtle Day\u00ae which is happening today on May 23rd.<\/p>\n

\"world<\/p>\n

Thew World Turtle Day was actually established as a drive to get people to discuss and talk about the way turtle and tortoise habitats are disappearing around the world but also as a celebration for the awesome ninja’s themselves. It serves as a reminder to the world that these reptiles are very interesting and a part of history that needs protecting for year to come<\/p>\n

The American Turtle Rescue was founded by Marshall Thompson and Susan Tellem who believe strongly that animals including reptiles like turtles and tortoises should be treated humanely at all times. Together at the rescue have managed to find forever homes for approximately 4,000 tortoises and turtles since opening their doors and even assist when law enforcement confiscate turtles that are being trafficked or treated inhumanely and they provide incredibly useful information and referrals to people with sick, abandoned or neglected turtles around the globe.<\/p>\n

In the spirit of all things turtle I thought we should put together a list of our most popular Turtle watches that we sell on our website, we are also offering to send a donation percentage of all sales of the turtles watches this month to American Turtle Rescue in America!<\/p>\n

PARTNER OF THE SEA TURTLE CONSERVANCY<\/h3>\n

The Certina<\/a> brand joined the Sea Turtle Conservancy<\/a> in 2017, becoming a proud partner of the Florida based organisation. The primary aim of the Sea Turtle Conservancy is to not only conserve the natural habitats of the remaining sea turtles in the Caribbean but also to ensure the survival of the sea turtles in that area. The organisation was founded in 1959 which incidentally was the same year that Certina developed the ultra-resistant DS Concept.<\/p>\n

POWERMATIC 80 MOVEMENT<\/h3>\n

You may not know what a Powermatic movement is but that’s not to worry neither did I until we took on this brand. I’m sure you’ve probably heard of a ‘power reserve’ this defines the amount of time that an automatic watch will operate until when it is fully wound, this is usually between 38-42 hours depending on the brand and movement. Certina decided to take this a step further when they developed their Powermatic 80 Movement, this allows any watch with this movement to work fully for an incredible 80 hours before needing to be wound again. This means you can wear your watch for three whole days without it needing to be wound at all!<\/p>\n
