Description

The 6105-8110 "was featured prominently on the wrist of Martin Sheen's character, Captain Willard, in the seminal 1979 Francis Ford Coppola film, Apocalypse Now. The inclusion of the watch was no mistake – the Seiko 6105 dive watch was popular among U.S. servicemen during the Vietnam War in the early 1970s. It was favored for its rugged nature and resistance to the harsh jungle environment. " (c) HodinkeeIt's also well known for having been the watch of choice of the Japanese adventurer Naomi Uemura on his one-man expedition to the north pole in 1978.Only in the first months of production these watches were marked as "Water 150m Proof" on the dial and "Waterproof" on the caseback.
