About this watch

A bold reissue with modern upgrades, the 2020 Seiko Prospex SPB153J1 pays homage to the legendary 1970 Seiko diver famously worn by explorer Naomi Uemura and later nicknamed the “Captain Willard” after its appearance in the cult classic film Apocalypse Now. This contemporary reinterpretation preserves the rugged spirit of the original, while offering the refinement and reliability modern divers demand.

Housed in a 42.7mm cushion-shaped stainless steel case with a sleek, brushed finish, this watch exudes vintage character and tool-watch charm. The distinct olive green dial and bezel set it apart from traditional divers, while large LumiBrite markers and hands ensure excellent legibility in low-light conditions.

Powering the SPB153J1 is Seiko’s in-house Caliber 6R35 automatic movement, offering a robust 70-hour power reserve and dependable performance. The unidirectional bezel, screw-down crown at 4 o’clock, and 200-meter water resistance underscore its professional dive-ready credentials.
