My collection of Seiko watches include this vintage automatic chronograph. The 6138-0017 is among the most sought after chronograph models that is fondly called a UFO by collectors. This model arguably is in the company of the Seiko Kakume and the JPS chronographs.

| Case back showing the model and movement number as well as the serial number indicating this watch to have been manufactured in February 1973 - the year and month when I turned one! |

| Close-up showing the lumed hands and the two sub dials. |

| The obligatory wrist shot - note how big this watch is! |
I have yet to find an aftermarket stainless steel band for this watch. In the meantime, I had been using a nato strap that I also used for my other watches.
