Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the condition description.

💎 COLLECTOR’S NOTE

The Seiko 6139 family holds an important position in horological history as one of the earliest automatic chronograph movements, introduced in 1969. Its sophisticated column-wheel and vertical-clutch construction was technically advanced for the period. The striking helmet-shaped case and dark Darth Vader color combination make this reference particularly desirable among vintage Seiko collectors.
