Seiko Willard Mod — the 6105 cushion-case look | MedoMods
"Captain Willard" is the look named after the watch Martin Sheen wears in Apocalypse Now: the asymmetric 6105 cushion case with a recessed crown. The original is vintage and expensive, the modern SPB151 reissue is premium — but the Willard look itself can also be built as a mod on a more affordable base with the right case and dial.
