ORIGINAL 1970S RETRO WATCH
SEIKO PEPSI DIAL CHRONOGRAPH

This is an awesome gents chrono from Seiko and in fabulous used condition. Model 6139-6002 with the Pepsi coloured tachymeter, gold inner rotating divers bezel (rotated using the crown) and fabulously eye-catching golden yellow dial. First put in production in 1969 and still widely sought after and collected. These are fast becoming scarce watches and in this nice condition are seldom seen. Its crown is also used to quick set the day and date by pushing it in, the top chrono button is for start and stop and the bottom chrono button for reset. Its dial is set with a sub dial showing elapsed mins, sports luminous hour batons and uses red hands to show chronograph features. The dial is immaculate as is the hardlex crystal. It tachymeter is flawless and like new. The case and bracelet are in stainless steel and show hardly any marks at all. The condition is so good that it has possibly been refinished and a very good job done of it. The bracelet is not original but a generic replacement specially made for this model and is a very close match to the original. All in all it is very nice indeed and suitable for wrist sizes up to a huge 8 1/2”. The movement has recently been serviced and is running smoothly and holding time well, with the chronograph function snapping back to zero just as it should. My first passion was for Seiko watches and find the quality of them is as good as any Swiss time piece and there longevity is second to none. Without exception this has got to be the nicest model Seiko ever made and certainly my favourite. It screams 1970s and has a fabulous auto chrono movement but you would have to be a wealthy man back then to buy one.
