A counterpart to the 6309-7049 made for the American market, the 6306-7001 is powered by a superior movement featuring hacking seconds and a higher jewel count, making it a favorite among collectors and enthusiasts alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHoused in the classic “Turtle” case, the watch measures 45mm in diameter, 48mm lug-to-lug, and 13mm thick, with a 22mm lug width. The case design is quintessential Seiko tool-watch: circular brushing across the top, polished flanks and caseback, and a defined mid-case line that adds visual depth. A screw-down crown positioned at 4 o’clock ensures both water resistance and comfort on the wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditional details include a double-row knurled bezel for improved grip, a bold and highly legible handset, and a quick-set day\/date complication. Durable, functional, and purpose-built, the 6306-7000 represents a pivotal moment in Seiko’s dive watch evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeiko divers of this era also carry notable cultural significance, with related models appearing on the wrists of figures like Ed Harris in The Abyss and Mick Jagger. While many examples have seen extensive use, this piece remains in excellent, original condition, an increasingly scarce find among vintage Seiko divers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"specs\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"47%\" style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eStock #\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"2%\" style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"47%\" style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eSKO63067001-3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eSeiko\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eStyle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\"Turtle\" Diver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e6306-7001\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eSerial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e93XXXX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eMen's\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eStainless Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eDial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eMatte Black\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eMillimeters\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e45\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eStrap\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eSeiko 2pc Rubber Strap\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCASE \u0026amp; BRACELET\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe robust and large case retains strong factory dimensions, with gentle signs of use and minimal evidence of prior polishing present.
