SEIKO DIVER 6105-8000 (SUPER RARE) VINTAGE WATCH FOR MEN CIRCA 1968s, GOOD COND

VERY RARE SECOND GENERATION DIVER WATCH CIRCA 1968s, GOOD CONDITION. Seiko has been famous with producing its iconic diver timepiece since 1960s. Seiko has gone through lots of efforts and invention to design timepiece that suitable for water activities such as swimming or even diving.

Of course, not only robust movement, but also designing the case that has the "Water Proof" capability. During this era, Swiss watchmaker such as Rolex, Omega, etc. Has already come out with many watches specially designed for diver. Finally, Seiko come out with its "so called" first generation diver, Seiko 6217 or 62 MAS in 1965 after the Tokyo Olympics in 1964.

This was one of the iconic Seiko Diver that has been famous till today and with the story behind, Seiko has recently introduced the re-edition version of Seiko 62MAS. Seiko 6105 come with robust Seiko Caliber 6105A and the case has been changed to stronger bigger case with the crown move to 4 o? Clock position with a slight crown protection, hence when the crown is pressed down, it will slightly looks integrate with its watch case. It was called as'Deep Sea Diver' in the past. Note that it is still non screw down crown.

The 6105 came in 2 type of case. Besides, both of these models came with luminous big hour markers and hands. The coin edge bezel is bidirectional with 60 clicks for full turn, which is quite tight and accurate and doesn't move easily.

The purpose of this is to prevent the bezel accidentally moved during diving. Seiko 6105 diver is also equipped with super thick double domed Hardlex crystal. Seiko invented its proprietary Hardlex crystal especially for its diver watch over the acrylic crystal because it is much more scratch resistant and doesn't shattered easily when knock into some hard materials. Besides, it comes with the "Proof" dial and "Proof" case back.

Dial in good condition, especially the dial, is extremely difficult task as most of the dial has spoil due to water moisture during the usage in the past. We usually saw 6105 dial with a lot of blackish spots filling the area of luminous on the hour markers and hands. Marking on both the dial and case back in 100% genuine condition has gained the popularity nowadays and extremely sought after by Seiko collectors.

Especially, "Proof Dial" and "Water Proof" engraved case back version, which become one of the most sought after vintage Seiko Diver model today. To emphasize more, the 6105A caliber was also promised to be rugged and reliable movement and no wonders it become the choice of US military soldiers. Dimension: 41mm Diameter without crown.

The large lume plots on each of the hour markers are currently in snow white color with some aging on the edges. May be due to the lume materials being used in the past, there are slightly some blackish color effect on some edges of lume plot, however they are considered quite clean and not conspicuous under human eye. Each of the square lume plots are surrounded by the polished chrome frames and their conditions are good as well.

It preserved well for such old vintage watch. The crystal is super thick that flat externally but it is much more "Dome" internally. The use of such thick crystal told us that SEIKO really designed the watch purposely to be strong and robust diver watch.
