Highlights:
  • Seiko Prospex 'Captain Willard' Limited Edition watch.
  • There are just 1,200 pieces available globally of this 1970 Diver's modern reinterpretation timepiece, commemorating the 80th birthday of Japanese explorer Naomi Uemura, the first man in the world to climb the highest peaks of each five continents - wearing a Seiko diving watch.
  • From 1974 to 1976 Uemura wore Seiko's diver’s watch on his expeditions like the 12,500km dog-sledge run from Greenland to Alaska. This Seiko Prospex Naomi Uemura 80th Anniversary Limited watch is a re-creation of Uemura’s adventure watch.
  • Movement: 8L35 Caliber Automatic movement with manual winding option and with 26 jewels. Up to 50 hours power reserve. The movement beats at 28,000 vibrations per hour. 
  • Seiko Caliber 8L35 is renowned for its durability, precision, and suitability for professional diving watches, reflecting Seiko's commitment to high-quality watchmaking. Designed for professional diving, this movement is built to withstand harsh underwater environments, making it a reliable choice for divers.
  • The design was named 'Captain Willard' by fans for Martin Sheen's character who wore it in the 'Apocalypse Now' movie.
  • The dial pattern is based on the mountainous surfaces that Naomi would have seen on his numerous treacherous climbs and subsequent dog sledge alpine missions.
  • The crown at 4 o'clock position for comfort and practicality is protected by the wide flowing case design around it, creating its signature look.
  • 200m water resistant watch.
  • Curved sapphire crystal glass with anti-reflective coating on the inner surface.
  • Includes bracelet and an additional blue silicone strap featuring the 'rail pattern' from the archives of the original Seiko diver's watch designs.
