About this watch

Seiko 6105-8000 'Slim Willard' 41mm Circa 1968 Case and Strap The 41mm cushion case is in very good condition, and its lines suggest very little to no polishing over more than five decades. That matters on a 6105-8000, whose broad case flanks and integrated crown guard lose their shape quickly under a polishing wheel. The watch is fitted with an aftermarket rubber strap, a practical pairing for a dive watch of this design. Dial and Hands The dial and hands show oxidation, but both remain intact. This ageing is consistent with a Seiko diver approaching sixty years of age, and it gives the watch an honest, period appearance that reflects its time on the wrist. Use Advisory At more than 50 years old, this 6105-8000 should be treated as a vintage timepiece. We recommend avoiding swimming and exposure to water, and removing it before impact sports or strenuous activity.
