Seiko Prospex “Save The Ocean” Captain Willard – Iceberg Dial Edition Inspired by Arctic Legends

Modern Re-interpretation of the 1970 Diver’s Watch | JDM Model: SBDC169

The Seiko Prospex SPB301, part of the 2022 “Save The Ocean” Special Edition, brings a glacial twist to one of Seiko’s most iconic divers’ designs. Inspired by the frozen landscapes of the Arctic and Antarctic, this Japan Domestic Model features an icy white textured dial that evokes the layered beauty of polar ice — a tribute to nature and adventure.

This model is a modern re-interpretation of the legendary 1970 Mechanical Diver’s Watch, famously worn by Naomi Uemura during his solo 12,500km dog-sled expedition from Greenland to Alaska. It’s also affectionately known as the “Captain Willard”, thanks to its appearance in Apocalypse Now (1979) — a cult favorite among Seiko collectors.

With its streamlined case design, polar-inspired dial, and deep dive heritage, the SPB301 is more than a watch — it’s a story on your wrist. A perfect blend of cinematic legacy, exploration spirit, and Seiko’s commitment to marine conservation.
