Seiko Prospex 'Willard' Re-issue SLA033J1 - 2019

Here we have a re-issue of one of the most famous Seiko's ever made, the Seiko 'Willard' SLA033J1.

The new Prospex re-creation of this 1970 diver’s watch is slightly larger than the original but faithful in every other respect to its design.

The case was given a wide, flowing design purely to protect the crown at the 4 o’clock position.

It incorporates caliber 8L35 which was specially designed for use in diver’s watches. The case has a super-hard coating and a dual-curved sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating and is 200 meter water resistant. The upper surface of the bezel rim is Zaratsu polished to a perfect mirror finish.

This particular piece is in excellent condition. The main case shows almost no wear other than some marks around the lug holes, and some marks on the rear of the lugs from strap changes. Case back and buckle stickers still in place.

Comes with outer box, inner box, instruction manual, warranty booklet and signed warranty card dated July 2019 and hang tag.

Created in a limited run of 2500 pieces, this is a rare watch in great condition - don't miss out.
