Description

The Seiko Captain Willard watch is one of the most recognizable and sought-after vintage Seiko divers. Released in 1979, the character Captain Willard, played by Martin Sheen, was wearing a Seiko reference 6105 in Apocalypse Now. It's perfectly fitting for a military character, with inspiration like a tank and values in both function and form.

Dial is showing signs of wear and markers with patina and discoloration. Hands are showing signs of being pitted. Crystal with heavy scratches. Heavy wear at the bezel insert and is no longer legible. The movement is running at the time of cataloging, however, it was not tested for the accuracy of time or duration of the power reserve and may need service at the buyer's discretion.
