Description

For your consideration is a January 1975 6105-8119 Diver. Otherwise known as the “Captain Willard”. Perhaps the most highly sought after Seiko diver’s watch.

Condition

The watch is completely original unto itself and I would rate the cosmetic condition as a 9/10. The case appears has nearly all the original surface brushing on the upper surface and has not been polished; retaining all of its original case lines. The dial and hands are very good condition and retain their original luminous material.  The watch comes with an Uncle Seiko “Tropic” band, a vintage Speidel flat-vent band.
