1974 Seiko 6105-8119 Automatic 150m Pro Diver “Capt. Willard” (Resist)
1974 Seiko 6105-8119 Automatic 150m Pro Diver “Capt. Willard” (Resist)
Few Seiko Divers are as sought after as the 6105-8110/9. Whether its due to a cameo appearance in the film 'Apocalypse Now,' where it sits prominently on the wrist of Martin Sheen’s “Captain Willard,” or for the fact that there are so many modern interpretations, homages, and even a pretty faithful Seiko reissue of this historic timepiece, it is, simply put, an icon. Whatever the motivation, owning a pristine original example is any enthusiasts dream. That's why we're proud to offer this absolutely stunning example from May of 1974. Other than a replacement crystal and strap, it's completely original, and unbelievably well preserved. The matte black dial is perfect, and the original luminous material is a bright white with no visible degradation. The polished baton hands are just as impressive with perfect lume, and a pale pink dot gracing the tip of the "stop light" sweep. The original bezel insert is nearly flawless with no marring or missing paint, and the pip at zero has the perfect touch of patina behind the acrylic lens. The case is unpolished with the factory finishes still clearly visible, and the bezel rotates in either direction with a firm, satisfying “click.” The hacking 6105B is keeping near perfect time post service, and is ready for many more years of dutiful reliability. If you've been waiting for the right opportunity to own this storied Seiko.... This. Is. It.
