Seiko 6117-6400 World Time - black inner bezel

Prior to the lockdown, I acquired a much sought after Seiko World Time. The 6117-6400 was from a shop in San Francisco in the United States, and took time to be transported here. And so it was almost 3 months from its arrival in the Philippines that I was able to get this watch.

The 6117-6400 features an inner bezel for the time zones, a GMT hand and a date display.

Case back showing the model and serial numbers. The serial number indicates this to be manufactured in January 1972, a month before I was born.

Close-up of the well preserved dial. I set the inner bezel for Singapore, which is supposed to be in the same time zone as Manila. I say "supposed" because it shouldn't be and is closer to Bangkok's time. Manila's is the same as Hong Kong and Taipei.

This was the wrist shot the first time I wore the watch

I recently had the watch fitted with a Hirsch racing strap. To be accurate, I asked the wife to have it fitted with this strap. :)

The straps look great on the UFO, too.

Here's a wrist shot with the racing straps from Hirsch

The watch runs on a Cal. 6117B movement, which has a hacking feature (the second hand stops when you pull the crown to adjust the time). This movement beats at 21,600 A/h with a potential storage of 46 hours. The watch keeps good time and so far I have not noticed any significant + or - over a period of 5 days that I have regularly used it with no adjustments to the time. This is another definite keeper!
