The watch is in very good condition and original throughout. New UNCLE SEIKO bracelet. * The Seiko World Time is the third version of the World Time series and features a rotating inner ring that displays the world's time zones by city and a beautiful buckled red 24-hour hand (through the bend, the GMT hand can go over the indexes and be displayed that way). easier to read). A GMT watch offers the added functionality of a second time zone, and it doesn't matter if you're a pilot, jetsetting an international playboy, or just keeping time in another part of the country (or world!) ) for business reasons, the GMT proves to be a useful tool for any day of the year. A World Time function goes one step further than a watch with only a second time zone, by combining GMT functionality with the added element of a rotating bezel with the names of international cities on it, eliminating all the guesswork and mental calculations. Made in 1970, this particular World Time has a white dial with subtle linen texture combined with a white city ring and looks really good. It comes on new Uncle Seiko bracelet. The multifunctional crown explained: 1. Fully in position: rotates the GMT ring so that it is aligned with a second time zone/city. 2. Turn out to first click: set the date. 3. Full crown out to second click: stops the second hand and adjusts the hour and minute hands. The World Time GMT automatic released in 1964 for the Tokyo Olympics is not only a beautiful watch, but was a "special" in the Seiko Lineup of the late 1960s. With a linen-textured dial and a combination of blue and red, it was simply the best of the more showy Seiko design experiments. To use the world time function, it was along an inner ring, but this is one of the main time zone cities. Just place the inner ring next to the desired city and see what time it is in another city on the ring. All in all, this is a very nice vintage Seiko watch that is becoming increasingly collectible. * Why We Love it? While we do have a strong affection for timepiece complications (think chronograph, moon-phase, and minute repeater), the one that proves to be the most practical for regular use is the GMT. A GMT watch offers the added functionality of a second timezone to keep track of the time in another part of the country (or world!) for business reasons, the GMT proves to be a useful tool for any day of the year. If ask anyone in the timepiece industry what do they wear most often, you'd be surprised to learn how many will answer GMT. They are quite simply the most practical watches for the world of international commerce, while they generally come with killer looks too. A world timer function takes it one step up from a watch with just a second time zone, by pairing GMT functionality with the added element of rotating bezel listing international city names, taking all of the guesswork and mental calculation out of the equation - and ratcheting those great looks up another notch! World timer watches have been produced by a number of manufactures and brands, but one of our all-time favorites is the reference 6117 by Seiko. These watches were produced in the late 1960s and early 1970s and bring together a great case design, robust Japanese-made movement and a stunning dial/bezel layout for a bargain price.
