Why We Love it
–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.
Brand Story

Brand Story
+Founded in 1881 by clockmaker and businessman Kintarō Hattori in Tokyo, Japan as “K. Hattori,” Seiko began importing Western timepieces and selling them in the local market. In 1892, Hattori changed the name of the firm to Seikosha (“house of exquisite workmanship”), which was further altered to “Seiko” in 1924. Following the Second World War, during which Seiko produced watches for the Japanese military, the company began its streak of innovations based upon affordable, in-house movements and Japanese savoir faire. These included myriad dive watches such as the famed 6105 and the fan-favorite 6139 chronograph.
Later, in 1969, Seiko would go on to produce the Astron, the world’s first quartz watch. This technological innovation was followed by the Seiko Kinetic in the 1980s, which married quartz accuracy with automatic, self-powering functionality. Today, Seiko’s product offerings are vast, including dress watches, dive watches, chronographs and much more, all of which are powered by in-house movements comprising different types of technology.
Despite a move toward luxury positioning and pricing in the brand’s modern offerings, vintage Seiko classics can still be had at incredibly reasonable prices today, making them a favorite entry point into the vintage watch world for myriad collectors. From their availability in post exchanges on military bases around the world to their fame from films such as Apocalypse Now to their presence at six Olympic Games, Seiko watches are deeply ingrained in the consciousness of the contemporary collector.
