1970 Seiko Automatic (Ref. 6106-7117)

Although they may not be the most luxurious, Seiko watches are loved by collectors both at the entry level and by the most discerning collector with a cult-like following. A specific sense of satisfaction comes from wearing a Seiko, that you are a part of a long lineage of excellent watchmaking and extreme attention to detail in a resilient fashion across the range of Seiko timepieces. 

Of course, among the many amazing watches this brand has released over the years, there are several dive watches among the fold, the most legendary of which was Seiko’s original professional diver, the 62MAS. But then there are those quote-unquote dive watches that are just as cool but maybe a little less deep water ready, like this fantastic piece. With a tonneau-esque case, silver dial, and funky roulette/rally bezel, it's a watch that makes a statement. And, as with many Seikos, this one looks just as good today as it did in 1970 – a true testament to the brand's incredible and timeless designs.
