Athaya Vintage 6105 homage,
These are available in four configurations, black or blue, date or non date. I only bought the date models.
The main selling point for me was a true crown at 4:00 so I think these have potential for all kinds of vintage Seiko swaps.
Specs from the Athaya website:

NOTE: the word filters here at 3T won't permit an appropriate comment on the claims of C1 Superluminova, it's not...
Packaging : Athaya Vintage Handmade leather travel case.
anyway here are some quick and dirty shots from this morning...
wrist shot on a nato:
These have a beautiful classic 6105 case shape and crown design, the bezels on all of these modern homages don't seem to have a straight coin edge, instead they taper in towards the insert a bit. I thought I would be disappointed by the not quite Seiko inspired dial but I really like it in person.
There is no point mentioning the lume it's not Luminova, it's dim but visible all night.
The nice 70's style spear diver case back:
Signed crown:
perfectly captured the classic Seiko look and feel of the case:
I added a vintage style buckle to complete the look:
