Seiko Automatic Chronogragh 1972
Another great looking Seiko chronograph, one of my favorites in fact, I love the good contrast of the dial and the tachometer ring. This watch was in very poor condition when I got it but apart from an overhaul and … Continue reading

Even by the standards of the seventies this watch was bulky. Nicknamed “helmet”, I wore one of these for a brief period in the seventies and I did have a couple of adverse comments about it. I clearly remember … Continue reading
