Seiko Prospex Automatic Men's Watch SPB151J1 Black Captain Willard Apocalypse Now

Apocalypse Now Black Edition: 44.3mm Diver at 200m with 6R35

Collection

The Seiko SPB151J1 is a special edition from the Prospex collection, paying homage to the character in the film Apocalypse Now (1979) who wore a Seiko diver's watch. This black model adopts the military codes of the original model while incorporating the 6R35 caliber with a 70-hour power reserve and 200m water resistance, in a 44.3mm case.

Case

In stainless steel, the case of the Seiko SPB151J1 measures 44.3 mm in diameter and 13.4 mm in thickness. The unidirectional rotating bezel allows for precise measurement of dive times. The dial is protected by a sapphire crystal, the most scratch-resistant, with an anti-reflective coating. The case back is solid and screwed down. Water resistance is 200m, conforming to ISO 6425 diving standards. The indices and hands are coated with LumiBrite, Seiko's luminescent material for extended nocturnal legibility. The case benefits from a Dia-Shield treatment (super-hard coating) which improves its scratch resistance.

Movement

The Seiko SPB151J1 is powered by the automatic caliber 6R35, offering a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. The 6R caliber is the high-end of Seiko's production automatic movements: it features hacking and manual winding, and offers a significantly higher power reserve than the 4R calibers.

Bracelet

The stainless steel bracelet of the Seiko SPB151J1, secured by a folding clasp, complements the case cohesively. The lug width is 20 mm.
