Inspired by the legendary Seiko 6105 “Willard” — one of the most iconic dive watches ever produced — this Bronze Turtle build is a modern tribute to true tool-watch history. The unmistakable cushion-case silhouette carries the same rugged DNA that made the original a favorite of collectors and adventurers, now reimagined in warm solid bronze that will develop a rich, one-of-a-kind patina over time. Bold, timeless, and full of character, this is a piece for those who appreciate vintage dive heritage with a distinctive modern edge.
If you’ve enjoyed the classic stainless steel Captain Willard, the bronze edition offers a completely different experience. As the bronze naturally develops a unique patina, no two watches age exactly alike.
