Any proper watch collection must include at least one Seiko diver.
We all have our favorites, but the the SPB265 deserves a spot on the Mount Rushmore of Seiko divers — full stop.
Its distinguishable asymmetric case, legible dial, overall presence and Seiko diver prominence, all culminate to make this a really compelling option. That's one of the reasons why we're so partial to Seiko's 'SPB265' the Japanese powerhouse released in just the last few years.
Heavily inspired by the 6105's design language, these modern day Seiko divers are equipped with a super hard coating, sapphire crystal and the manufacture's Calibre 6R35. This piece features a 42mm stainless steel case with a signed crown at 4 o'clock and a luminous, textured, green fumé dial with a matching handset and a 'stoplight' center seconds hand.
Outfitted with a multi-link stainless steel bracelet with a signed safety lock clasp, this piece is in virtually-unworn condition. What's more it delivers with a complete kit of factory goodies.
Can it get any better than a contemporary Captain Willard with a fun dial and all the modern accoutrements?
Probably not.
