1970 Seiko Navigator Timer GMT (Ref. 6117-6410)

$ 975

Although they may not be the most luxurious, Seiko watches are loved by collectors of all ages and levels. With a cult-like following, there's a specific sense of satisfaction that comes from wearing a Seiko, that you're part of a long lineage of top-tier watchmaking.

The Navigator Timer is a true favorite amongst Seiko and vintage watch collectors alike. It was the brand's second incarnation of a watch that can track multiple time zones, with the first being the World Time model from the early 1960s.

But the Navigator Timer simplified and improved upon Seiko's original design, with the most impressive version being this ref. 6117-6410, which featured an internal rotating 24-hour bezel in the beloved "Pepsi" color scheme as well as a large steel case and sporty matte black dial.
