Here's another vintage chronograph from Seiko. This is my second 6139-6012. The first one has a blue dial while this one has the champagne dial.

The watch features a well-preserved champagne dial with day and date complications. There is also a sub-dial for the chronograph.

Side view showing the crown and the chronograph buttons. The quickset day and date are set by pushing the crown. Shallow or subtle pushes change the date. Deeper or harder pushes set the day.

Case back showing the model and serial numbers. The serial number indicates this watch to have been made in May 1972. 1972 is my birth year so this was a good acquisition.
|
 |
The watch came with a genuine Seiko bracelet that I was able to adjust to fit my wrist. Though this was from the time the watch was released, it is not for this model.

Close-up of the pristine dial. The dial number is consistent with the watch model. There is also the distinctive water70resist at 9 o'clock.

This and others of the same model are often and fondly called the "Bruce Lee" because the legendary martial artist and actor wore a variant of the line. This one's a keeper along with the blue dial. I'm looking to acquire a couple more of these including a black dial model.
