  • Our take on the Seiko SPB317 "Slim Willard" Prospex

    The SPB317 is Seiko's modern reinterpretation of the 6105-8000 diver, nicknamed the Slim Willard. It has the thinnest case of any Seiko automatic diver, a cushion-shaped stainless steel case with super-hard coating, and a five-row bracelet. Inside is the 6R35 automatic with 70 hours of power reserve, sapphire crystal, and ISO-rated 200 m diving capability. It suits divers and desk divers who want vintage looks in a slimmer, more wearable package than the chunky Willard reissues, though it costs more than Seiko's entry divers and its movement is not as accurate as Swiss rivals at the same level.

    What reviewers say

    Owners praise the slim case and vintage-correct looks, calling it one of the most comfortable Seiko divers to wear daily. The 6R35 movement draws mixed comments on accuracy and winding feel, and some find the bracelet and clasp below the standard of the case.

    What people mention
    • Case sizePraisedOwners say the thin case makes it the most wearable Willard-style Seiko yet.
    • Movement accuracyMixedSome report good timekeeping from the 6R35, others see noticeable daily deviation.
    • BraceletMixedThe five-row bracelet is liked for looks, but the clasp is called basic.
    • BezelMixedA few owners find the rotating bezel stiff or slightly misaligned at first.
    • LegibilityPraisedThe white dial with LumiBrite hands and markers is called easy to read day or night.
