  • A hardwearing, easy-to-read timepiece which looks very different from other dive watches
  • Khaki green dial and bezel.
  • Case size refined to 42.6mm, whilst the original 6105 was 44.5mm.

    Perfect purchase!

    Posted by [Name Hidden] on 12th Feb 2024

    I’m a fan of large diving watches & this Seiko is ever so slightly smaller and sleeker but only by 1 or 2mm overall, if I wasn’t so used to huge watches the Willard would seem like quite a chunk! A beautiful piece of design. Never heard of Watcho before so there was an element of nervousness about spending over £800. The watch arrived in less than 48 hours, securely packed and requiring my signature. I’d been after this particular watch for over a year when Watcho turned up in a search with an unmissable deal.

    Brilliant.

    Posted by Chris Hooper on 20th Nov 2023

    Lovely watch. Smaller case size makes it very wearable and a lot lighter than my Baby Tuna. Great colour too. [Verified WATCHO buyer. Purchase date: 29/10/2023]
