SD1974 Steeldive Captain Willard 6105 Auto Diver Watch Seiko NH35 Yellow

An absolute banger of a watch. Incredible value for a great deal!

This is the STEELDIVE SD1974, a homage to the legendary 6105-8110. The one that started it all!

The 6105-8110 is the robust everyman watch with it's reputation for value upon which the Japanese giant built its name. Produced from 1968 to 1977, the 6105 is considered the most iconic vintage dive watch by many horologists of today- you can still see the influence in modern watches today with the 4 o'clock crown and cushion-shaped case.

During the Vietnam War, U.S. troops were known to buy the 6105-8110 at Post Exchanges on military bases in Southeast Asia. Many were worn through combat and made their way back to the U.S on the wrists of services members after their tours were complete.

In 1979 the film 'Apocalypse Now' was released, the character Captain Willard (Martin Sheen) famously wears a 6105-8110 throughout the film. This combination of history and film nostalgia is one of the main reasons the 6105 has become so popular.

STEELDIVE have re-created the 6105-8110 by bringing together the iconic design with modern materials and reliability. The STEELDIVE SD1974 still retains it's Japanese nostalgia by using a Seiko NH35 automatic movement- considered an extremely reliable, accurate and hard-working workhorse. Furthermore, extremely scratch resistant Sapphire Crystal Glass and a GlossyGreen Ceramic Bezel insert ensures the SD1974 retains its charming looks for years to come.
