The hands are similar to the Alpinist, but the overall appearance is closer to Blancpain's 1950s diver. But this is a more expensive watch than the discontinued SKX007. However, it does feature their mid-range 6R35 automatic movement. This watch, the Seiko Captain Willard, is a similar offering to the 62MAS. It's one of Seiko's most iconic divers and a favourite among the brand's fans.

Skin Diver watches of the time had generic cases (often built by Squale). So this watch has an angular case with pronounced lugs. This is matched with a simple rotating bezel. They've been at the forefront of watchmaking innovation. Inevitably, they've made some influential and iconic watches through the decades.And it's the appearance that wins me over with this watch. It might have a Hardlex crystal rather than sapphire. And many Seiko fans will think that it's a bit pricey. Then there is the water-resistance. It's only 50M. One interesting detail is the brushed lower edge of the case. Perhaps Seiko brushed the bottom third just to provide a bit more visual interest and make it feel more “finished”. Or maybe it was to make the tall, polished sides seem shorter. The slightly inset crown and polished side of the Recraft case
