Following Seiko's introduction of the World Timer during the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, the 6117-8000 emerged as their second GMT timepiece. The Navigator Timer variant possesses a more streamlined design compared to the standard GMT layout and operates using the 6117 movement. Featuring a timeless monochromatic design, the 6117-8000 boasts a charcoal gray sunburst dial with a glossy lacquer finish. It includes a seamless chapter ring with minute hashes and large luminous hour markers, along with a wide coin-edged bezel featuring a clean 24-hour insert. Its minimal and understated aesthetic is precisely what makes it the perfect tool watch. The Navigator Timer is a must-have for any true vintage Seiko fan, and finding an immaculate new old stock JDM example is exceptionally rare. The example we're offering is simply outstanding, complete with all papers, tags, and the original box. While it was pleasing seeing Seiko reissuing this iconic reference with the faithful SPB411, respectfully when witnessing this particular one, you simply cannot beat the original. _______________________________________­___ Condition report This new old stock Navigator Timer is stunning. The case and bracelet are sharp with no noticeable scratches, though some light scratches from storage may be expected. The dial is immaculate, and the hands and lume are in beautiful condition. The bezel is also immaculate and rotates smoothly. The glass is beautiful, with only two small scratches or dust particles observed around the 12 o'clock position. The caseback is pristine and retains most of the original blue protective sticker. This watch comes complete with its original papers, tags, and box. _______________________________________­___ Specifications BRAND: Seiko MODEL: Navigator Timer GMT REFERENCE: 6117-8000 DIAL: Original Sunburst Charcoal dark gray dial CASE MATERIAL: Stainless Steel CASE DIMENSIONS: 37.7mm diameter; 11.8mm thickness, 19mm lug width CRYSTAL: Mineral Crystal CASE BACK: Screw-in Stainless Steel MOVEMENT: Seiko Automatic 6117A Manufacturing date: August 1969 Service History: Unknown, ±10s/day Bracelet/Strap: Original Seiko railroad bracelet 6117-800
