Seiko Prospex 'Willard' Re-issue SLA033J1 - 2020
Seiko Prospex 'Willard' Re-issue SLA033J1
A re-issue of one of the most famous Seiko's ever made, the Seiko 'Willard' SLA033J1 is a re-creation of the 1970 diver’s watch that is slightly larger than the original, but faithful in every other respect to its design.
The case measures in at 45mm, and its wide, flowing case design is purely to protect the crown at the 4 o’clock position. It has a super-hard coating and a dual-curved sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, and is water resistant to 200m. The upper surface of the bezel rim is Zaratsu polished to a perfect mirror finish, with a black aluminium insert. The whole thing rotates with that famed Seiko SLA buttery-smoothness, and is a joy to use. It's powered by the high-end caliber 8L35 automatic movement which was specially designed for use in diver’s watches, and is based on the Grand Seiko Cal. 9S55.
This particular piece was first sold locally in 2020 and presents in TZ Good condition. The case shows some light scratches and marks, and a small ding on the bezel between 12 and 1. There’s also a few marks on the bezel toward the 9 marker. Case back sticker still in place. Please see images for full condition details.
Comes with outer box, inner box, instruction manual, warranty booklet and signed warranty card dated August 2020, hang tags and Watch Vault cleaning cloth.
Created in a limited run of 2500 pieces, this is a rare watch in great condition - don't miss out.
