Seiko Prospex 'Captain Willard' Automatic Grey Dial Stainless Steel Bracelet Men's Watch SLA051J1
The Case:
Seiko Captain Willard SLA051J1 Prospex Automatic Stainless Steel Men's Watch is a modern reinterpretation of the watch worn by Martin Sheen’s character in Francis Ford Coppola’s 1979 Vietnam War epic, Apocalypse Now. This model has also been released in celebration of Japanese explorer Naomi Uemura’s birthday. He was the first man to climb the highest peaks of each of the 5 continents, during which he wore a Seiko.
The case measures 44mm in width and it is made from satin brushed stainless steel case has been finished with super hard coating, which provides the watch with unparalleled durability and scratch resistance. A black unidirectional bezel sits on top of the case, it displays a 60-minute scale and it features knurled edges that allow the wearer to easily rotate it. The sapphire crystal embedded in the case provides the watch with superlative scratch resistance. The glass has been treated an anti-reflective coating, which permits for optimum readability. On the back of the case, there is a screw down case back which provides greater protection against water.
The Dial:
The unique textured grey dial is based on the mountain surfaces that Naomi would have endured during his groundbreaking expeditions. The dial employs a simplistic layout which ensures the dial can be easily read. It consists of deeply applied square hour markers that have been polished and filled with a luminescent material, which allows the dial to be read in the dark. A beveled baton-shaped hands occupies the centre of the dial, it has also been filled with LumiBrite material. The design of the dial continues to pays homage to the original Seiko 6105 through the adoption of the distinctive ‘traffic light’ style second hand. A date display window is placed between the 4 and 5 o'clock marker.
The Bracelet:
The bracelet is made from stainless steel and comes fashioned in a classic three-link oyster style. The simplistic design of the oyster bracelet was was first introduced by Rolex in 1948 and it has since enjoyed a close association with an array of dive watches, this is due to their utilitarian character that ensures functionality. The bracelet fastens using a three fold clasp with a secure lock, to ensure it remains upon the wearer’s wrist.
The Functions:
Seiko’s 8L35 caliber automatic movement powers this timepiece, providing the watch with a 50 hour power reserve and an accuracy of +15 to -10 seconds per day. The high performance calibre movement also offers a hacking feature so that the time can be set precisely. Although the movement is automatic it also features a hand winding mechanism, which gives the wearer the option of powering the watch themselves. The watch has a water resistance of 200 metres.
