The calibre 11, the el Primero and the Seiko 6139 movement. The Seiko caliber 6139 is an automatic chronograph with a single thirty-minute register at 6 o'clock and day/date indicator. It has a unique quick set date function; to set the day you push the crown in all the way until it changes.
To set the date you press it a bit more gently, very ingenious. There is no continuous second’s hand on the watch, which takes a moment to get used to. The Seiko Chronograph Automatic, model 6139-7100, also affectionately known as the "Helmet" due to its unique case shape that's reminiscent of a space helmet. This iconic timepiece isn't just a watch; it's a significant chapter in the history of automatic chronographs, marking Seiko's innovation in the watchmaking world.
The "Helmet" features a distinctive case design, not just for aesthetics but for ergonomics and protection of the crown and chronograph pushers. Its bold, angular shape captures the essence of the era, making it a standout piece for collectors and enthusiasts alike. The tachymeter scale on the bezel, a tool for measuring speed over a known distance, adds a layer of functionality for the sporting gentleman.
Encapsulated within is a captivating dial, showcasing a day/date complication at the 3 o'clock position, unique to its time for an automatic chronograph. The dial, under a hardlex crystal, presents a clean and functional layout, ensuring legibility at a glance. Original hands and markers contribute to its vintage charm, with luminous material that has aged gracefully, telling a story of time itself.Seiko Chronograph 6139-7100
