Vintage 1969 Men’s Seiko World Time Automatic Wristwatch

Description

This sale is for a

Pre-Owned Collectible Watch

that we bought at an estate sale.

This fine watch represents the end of an era, by 1969 Seiko had perfected the automatic winding watch mechanism in the 61xx calibre movement.
1969 is also the year that Seiko produced the first quartz watch, from then on the automatic took a backseat with the 1970′s 71xx movement.

For more info you can read this excellent article from Adriano
Ramos Passarelli (the English version is here here does not contain the pictures).

This watch has the classic 6117-6010 movement, it has a date register and a third 24-hour hand calibrated to the main hour hand and an inner bezel.
The inner bezel is for setting the time zone and is turnable when the crown is closed.
At halfway, the crown controls the date register and at full extension it controls the time.

Condition:
Gently Used – Great for 41 years old, normal wear, some marks, see photos.
