1965 Diver's Modern Re-interpretation In addition to the limited edition trilogy, the 55th anniversary of Seiko's first diver's watch is also celebrated with an all-stainless steel modern re-interpretation. This new version is characterized by its slim profile and a lowered center of gravity that makes it comfortable to wear on even a smaller wrist. It features the same special 55th anniversary blue-gray dial as graces the trilogy and comes with both a stainless steel bracelet and a silicone strap. It is powered by Caliber 6R35 that delivers a power reserve of 70 hours.

The 1975Professional Diver's 600m Re-creation The 1975 Professional Diver's 600mOriginal model It all began with a letter from Hiroshima.

This model is a re-creation of the classic 1968 model, but with greatly enhanced specifications that incorporate the latest...

The Modern Willard SPB151 Seiko doesn't write a lot about it, heck they never reference the name Willard, but it is a very important watch in Seiko diving history.  Why they don't call it the Willard is understandable, it is probably an issue with the copyright, since the name comes from a major motion picture that really has nothing to do with Seiko.  The Willard is an important watch and if you read the literature all Seiko really says about it is that it is, "A much respected diver's watch."  How much of an anticlimactic statement it that?  No matter,...
