    Product Specifications

    1970 'Captain Willard'  Re-Interpretation

    This watch was popular with American troops in the 1970s, famously worn in the ‘Apocalypse Now’ film by Martin Sheen playing the character Captain Willard and it was the first 'turtle'. A hardwearing, easy-to-read timepiece which looks very different from other dive watches. 

    Modernised from the original version with high visibility dial layouts, increased power reserve to 70 hours and a smaller case size for even more comfort. 

    Black dial and bezel.  

    Seiko Prospex watches are designed for sports lovers and adventure seekers in the water, in the sky or on land.Since launching Japan’s first diver’s watch in 1965, Seiko’s innovative watchmaking has changed global dive watch standards.

For orders over £500, please consult your receipt for details on how to return. For international returns, you will need to bear the cost of returns postage.
