SEIKO DIVER 6309 - 7040



Seiko 6309 Series Dive Watches:
The 6309 divers replaced the 6105 as the standard models of 150m divers. The 6309s were marketed outside of Japan while a version using the 6306 movement was sold only in Japan (but for a relatively short 5 years). The cal. 6309 movement is a successor of the 6105. It has 17J and runs at 21,600 bph. It’s non-hacking and has a quickset day/date calendar mechanism.
Like the 6105, there are 2 series of 6309 divers. The earlier versions — 6309-7040 and 6309-7049 — are housed in big cushion cases and have round markers. The later versions — 6309-7290 and 6309-729A/729B — have slimmed-down cases and rectangular markers (which make them very similar to the current SKX007/173 models). While the earlier 6105 divers used the “turn and lock” crowns, the 6309 crowns are all screw-down. The 6309 divers seem to all have bi-directional non-locking bezels.
The 6309s were popular especially among American soldiers who bought them cheap from the PX, the 6105 divers were issued to one of the U.S. Navy Seal teams in the 1960s.

SEIKO DIVER 6105 - 8110





One of my favorites is the Seiko 6105-8110 with 19.5mm lugs — call them 20mm lugs
Seiko made 2 series of 6105 divers: 6105-8000 and 6015-8009 are earlier models, while the 6105-8110 and 6105-8119 come later. All models are rated to 150m. The cal. 6105 movement comes in 2 variations — 6105A and 6105B. They are both 17J and run at 21,600 bph. They have a quickset date-only calendar mechanism. The 6105-8000 and 6105-8009 models use the cal. 6105A movement and have symmetrical cushion cases.
The 6105s were popular especially among American soldiers who bought them cheap from the PX, the 6105 divers were issued to one of the U.S. Navy Seal teams in the 1960s.
