Description
1970 Seiko 6105 "Captain Willard" Diver — Stainless Steel
The Seiko 6105 diver, immortalized on Martin Sheen's wrist in Apocalypse Now and one of the most collectible vintage Seikos ever made. This example retains its distinctive asymmetric cushion case unpolished, along with its original bracelet and bezel. The black dial carries square and rectangular markers with baton hands and the "resist" designation — matched on the case back — placing it in the transitional period between the earlier proof and later resist markings. Powered by the Seiko caliber 6105B automatic with hacking seconds and quickset date, recently serviced and running well.
