Highlights:
  • PROSPEX  "Captain Willard" 1970 Re-Interpretation Limited Edition watch.
  • A limited edition design, within the collection marking the 55th anniversary of Japan’s very first diving watch created by Seiko. 
  • This watch is a modern reinterpretation of the Seiko 1970 diver's watch, nicknamed 'Captain Willard' by Seiko fans.
  • Popular with American troops in the 1970s, famously worn in the ‘Apocalypse Now’ film by Martin Sheen playing the character Captain Willard and it was the first Seiko 'turtle'. 
  • A hardwearing, easy-to-read timepiece which looks strikingly different from other dive watches. 
  • Modernised from the original version with high visibility dial layout, increased power reserve to 70 hours with calibre 6R35.
  • Seiko Prospex watches are designed for sports lovers and adventure seekers in the water, in the sky or on land. Since launching Japan’s first diver’s watch in 1965, Seiko’s innovative watchmaking has changed global dive watch standards.
  • Arrives with an additional silicone strap.
  • This watch is a limited edition of 5,500 pieces.
  • The upper surface of the bezel rim is Zaratsu polished to a perfect mirror finish.
  • The Uni-directional rotating bezel: The precise and safe operation of the uni-directional bezel prevents accidental rotation. This is to prevent the watch from displaying the elapsed time shorter than it is.
  • Premium curved sapphire crystal glass with anti-reflective coating on the inner surface, provides better protection from scratches in your daily life.
  • A blue dial Seiko Men's watch.
  • Limited Edition on the case back.
  • Screw-down crown and case back.
  • Serial number engraved on the case back.
  • 200 metres water resistant.
More features:

    SPB183J1 Willard

    I have a lightly restored original 6105-8110 which for me, is just too good to wear everyday. So I thought I'd get this which, although slightly smaller, wears very well and looks just as good. A superb watch. Spot on service from Watcho too.

    You can spot the quality. The watch has a great presence on the wrist.

    happy

    Love it! If I could change anything, I'd have it solar powered because I have 11 Seikos and try to rotate wearing them so the 3 automatics I have are usually stopped by the time I next wear them so have to reset it. Not a complaint, just an observation.
