Pogue was part of the Skylab program, and spent 84 days in space with Skylab 4 from late 1973-74, making the Seiko 6139 the first automatic chronograph in space, impressively, it performed flawlessly for the duration of the mission. The dial is a bright gold/yellow, surrounded by a cream internal bezel which is adjusted easily by turning the flush mounted crown at the 3 hour mark, with two round pushers above and below to manage the chronograph functions. The stainless steel lumed hands and hour markers are smart and simple, and white on black day/date display is similarly stylish, with a bevelled steel border. The bright dial contrasts well with the blue and red tachymeter bezel, making for quite a striking design, continued in the bright red central chrono hand and red teardrop-shaped hand on the 30 minute subdial. This model has the applied Seiko logo to the top centre, and just below the centre is the 'Suwa' factory symbol. There were several variations in design, dial colour, and markings, during it's production from 1969-76, and referencing the serial number and movement shows this particular watch was made in July 1974. A nice patina throughout with a wonderful dial. Comes with original Seiko stainless steel H-link bracelet in great condition.

]]> Seiko ‘Bruce Lee’ Blue Dial https://theclockandwatchshop.co.uk/product/seiko-bruce-lee-blue-dial/ Fri, 24 Jan 2025 16:50:27 +0000 https://www.theclockandwatchshop.co.uk/?post_type=product&p=87950 An excellent vintage automatic Seiko watch, often referred to as the 'Bruce Lee' because he wore the almost identical 6139-6010 model in his later years, this being the 6139-6012, serial number 2N3407, dating this watch to 1972. The dial is a nice blue with white indices markings, original lume at the hours and also on the stainless steel hands. This watch has been well looked after, the stainless steel case in great condition with the original bracelet, showing minor signs of wear. The movement has been fully serviced and runs smoothly, with the responsive chronograph function, and the day/date also, pushing the crown inwards to quickset - halfway to change the date, fully to change the day. Overall a reliable and attractive watch with some history. The case measures 43mm in length from the lugs, 39mm in diameter not including the crown or pushers, 19mm between the lugs, and 14mm in depth.

Sold with a 12 month guarantee.
