The watch shown is the SPB317J1. Homages follow other references too, so compare shape and scale.

How to recognise one

Eight marks make the look. The count says how many of the 10 homages keep each one.

  • Turtle cushion case

    A wide, cushion-shaped steel case with a brushed finish and a smooth curved flank.

  • Coin-edge bezel

    The black bezel has a serrated, coin-style edge all the way round.

  • Crown at 4

    The crown sits low on the right side, at 4 rather than 3.

  • Triangle with a pearl at 12

    A lumed triangle with a round pearl marks 12 on the bezel.

  • Double bar at 12

    Two lumed bars sit side by side at 12.

  • Rectangular lume plots

    Thick rectangular lume plots with a pale outline mark the other hours.

  • Date at 4:30

    A small white date window sits between 4 and 5, beside the dial text.

  • Ribbed rubber strap

    A black rubber strap with a textured panel on each side of a smooth centre.

Each close-up covers about 12.5 mm of watch, using the listed case width and estimated photo edges.

Original specifications

Sizes and specifications apply to the version named below. Other versions can differ.

6105-8000

Assigned catalogue reference 6105-8000. Vintage reference identity was matched by the explicit reference in the specialist listing/catalogue; dimensions describe reported examples and may vary with case condition.

Selected from the hands-on vintage specimen. The 1stDibs listing's 39 mm listing dimension is retained as an individual-listing observation, but the reviewer identifies the reference and describes a physical comparison.

Sources differ

Directly read sources report different values. The exact values remain separate and no averaging was applied.

Selected with explicit basis: Fratello says this specimen's total height includes its protruding faceted crystal. The 13 mm 1stDibs listing is retained without a comparable measurement convention.

Fratello's hands-on comparison gives 19 mm for the vintage 6105-8000; the modern SPB317 is 20 mm.

SpecificationValueSources and notes
Case width44 mm1976 Seiko Diver Ref. 6105-8110 Captain Willard | HODINKEE ShopSeiko 6105-8110 | EveryWatch

Sources agree.

HODINKEE and EveryWatch identify exact 6105-8110 and report 44mm case diameter; HODINKEE labels the 9-to-3 axis.

Lug to lug47.5 mmSeiko 6105-8110 | Watches83

One cited source.

Watches83 lists approximate 47.5mm L2L for exact 6105-8110; other vintage listings vary from 47 to 48mm.

Thickness12.5 mm1976 Seiko Diver Ref. 6105-8110 Captain Willard | HODINKEE ShopSeiko 6105-8110 | EveryWatch

Sources agree.

HODINKEE and EveryWatch report 12.5mm for the exact reference. Owner listings explicitly describe 12.5mm including crystal.

Sources differ

12.5mm is supported by HODINKEE, EveryWatch and owner listings that include crystal. Watches83 reports approximate 12.7mm and WatchSleuth about 13mm without equivalent specimen basis.

Assignment carried 13mm from HODINKEE; the read body says 12.5mm, so the 13mm entry is a source transcription mismatch.

Lug width19 mm1976 Seiko Diver Ref. 6105-8110 Captain Willard | HODINKEE ShopSeiko 6105-8110 | EveryWatch

Sources agree.

HODINKEE and EveryWatch report 19mm lug width for exact 6105-8110.

Sources and unconfirmed details
  • Water-resistance claims vary historically and are not selected without a source that distinguishes original rating from an aged watch.
  • Unresolved thickness_mm: available exact-reference body sources do not support a single value.
