FS: All Original Seiko 6138-3000 - Vintage 1971 - Controlled

Dear ChronoTrader Readers,

Up for your consideration today a superb Seiko chrono with a movement that is a landmark in the history of matchmaking:
Indeed, created in April 1969 to compete with the brand new Swiss "11 Chronomatic" (Hamilton, Heuer, Breitling, Dubois-Depraz), Seiko will be the first to market an automatic chronograph watch with a vertical clutch and a column wheel: the 6139 caliber was born.
The movement 6138 which will be marketed 1 year later is identical and will benefit from the addition of a counter totalizing 12 hours and a significant additional manual winding in addition to the automatic.
An indisputable historical legitimacy that matters to every collector!

After this "piece of bravery" I present to you my Seiko 6138-3000 dated March 1971, entirely original, and which thus enjoys the famous manual winding and quick adjustment Day / Date at the 1st notch of the crown.

Another interesting feature: its size, imposing for the time (41 mm without crown), but totally current today (see photo on my wrist 21 cm ....).

The watch was controlled by my watchmaker and its operation is perfect (timekeeping, reset Chrono,report ) except the change of the date gear (plastic replaced advantageously by the identical original piece but steel).

The original Seiko glass is also new.

Original Seiko steel bracelet to perfect the endowment.
I possibly has a Seiko bracelet idem but in "reissue" mode..
Will sell it if interested.

Some pictures:



















In summary a good opportunity to own in its collection this iconic
Seiko which is real collector today.

Watch is located in France and will be delivered with its certificate/control paper.

Asking price is 720€ + shipping worldwide.
Paypal ok but only “between friend” or bank wire.
