VINTAGE WATCH | SEIKO 7548-7000 TURTLE
Regular price $499.00 USD Sale price $439.00 USD Save $60.00 USDConcept:
If a watch earns its nickname because of its distinct features, I am sure it is a special watch that worth all the watch collector's attention. Selected as one of the most common watches forΒ servicemen back in the VietnamΒ war, the Seiko Diver is a perfect definition of a tool watch. It's as rugged and hard wearing as it is aesthetically satisfying. Even as the first "Turtles" was released 44 years ago in 1976, one thing is certain... they don't get old.
We have sold 6309 before, but here we are listing a Seiko 7548 Quartz Turtle for the first time. We have sourced a very special example giving the perfect sign of vintage feeling from the watch. This example is from October of 1978, the first year of the launch of the 7548 Diver. During its time of launch, it retailed at 40% higher than it's mechanical brother Seiko 6309 Turtle as Seiko thinks that Quartz is the next big thing in the 70s. The watch is even priced at the same level as an Omega Seamaster Automatic back in 70s. The dial of the Seiko 7548 Quartz Diver is printed with a Suwa Seikosha logo showing the origination of the watch. The case shape weΒ see in the Seiko 7548 and 6309 Turtle is a timelessΒ design essentially here with us today in the form of the automatic 7S26-powered SKX007/9 that can still be found today.Β
The matte black dial is in great condition overall with perfectly developed patina throughout the hour plots. The hour and minute hands have retained theirΒ original lume and are observed to age with the same colour as the dial. The mineral crystal is scratch-free. The bezel has aged into a light grey colour (same as a vintage Submariners) and rotates smoothly in either direction. The day and date can be quickset via the crown. The case is in mint condition with the original finishes still visible. We have observed the price of Seiko 7548 rising significantly in recent years. And we expect the trend to continue in the upcomingΒ years as this is becoming a timeless collectable class.
We suggest you pair this vintage piece with our Nato strap or our Premium Rubber straps which makes it a perfect all-occasion watch for your day. You will only find it getting rarer for a vintage diver with such an amazing condition, get it before it's gone.

Vintage Watch | Orient Weekly Auto Swimmer
Regular price $298.00 USDConcept:
This is an interesting one because we source this watch because many of you have asked us on InstagramΒ whether the Orient Weekly Swimmer in my personal collection is up for sale. We know that you guys want it and here it is, we manage to source on in Japan in good condition and we hope to help lovers to get hold of one as sourcing an Orient Weekly in good conditionΒ is not an easyΒ task.
Alright, let me talk about the watch. The example we have sourced is a Weekly Auto Orient Swimmer from the 1960s. The Swimmer term may beΒ confusingΒ to you as the watch only have a normal crown instead of the locking crown we see in most diving watch cases today. The reason behind this is because of the technical developmentΒ on watches and the generally accepted standard on the word "Water Resistance". In the 1960s, most watch company will name their watch waterproofΒ or water resistance as long as they have a rubber o-ring inside their watch crown and their case back, this is changed after the rise of the diving watch standard which requires a screw-down locking crown to prevent water from entering the watch movement. I believe it makes owning this watch much more interesting after knowing the history of the watch and when you look at the case back engraved with a diver, sometimes it will put a smile on your face on the marketing idea they use back in the 60s by Orient.
Besides the segment of the Orient Weekly Swimmer, the movement and the display of the dial on the watch is also interesting. The Orient Weekly Swimmer is fitted with a day-date display and unlike the usual day date where they putting side by side, the Orient is putting a long Kenji day wording at the 6 o'clock position of the watch. The Kenji day wheel is exclusively for the Japanese market and can easily distinguishΒ itself as a JDM watch. The movement of the Orient operates in an interesting way as well, the movement does not offer any quick-set at the watch crown. The movement only offers a date quick set and you can operate the quick set by pressing firm on the button next to the watch crown to jump ahead of the date. In many examples we saw in the market, the quick set function has broken down, the example we found have a perfectly functioning quick set date function and is a rare find in the market.
More on the look of the watch, theΒ Orient Weekly Swimmer are issued in many different dial and case variance. The example we have here today is fitted with a silver sunburst dial with an eye-catching Orient Applied log and Blue Swimmer text which is rare on a vintage watch. The big Kenji Day window is surely the more eye-catching area of the watch! With its 37mm case size, the Orient Weekly feels modern on the wrist and feels just like a modern dress watch nothing like a watch with 50 years of history. The watch is also fitted with aΒ fluted bezel which I am sure will remind us of the most recognisable dress watch in the market the Rolex 1601.
Overall,Β the design and history of the watch is definitelyΒ a nice pick to add to your collection if you are looking for a dress watchΒ with a day-dateΒ function.Β Β

Vintage Watch | Seiko 6139 - 6009
Regular price $485.00 USD Sale price $440.00 USD Save $45.00 USDConcept:
Seiko 6139, arguably the first automatic chronograph in the market.Β
When Zenith El Primero and the Swiss company joint force Caliber 11 are the first to come to watch geek's mind when they talk about automatic chronograph, Seiko is the actual the first company that launches the automatic chronograph movement in the market in May 1969.
What makes 6139 even more special is that this movement is the first automatic chronograph in space. In 1973, astronautΒ Colonel William Pogue brought his Seiko 6139 up to space during the mission as Person Item and the watch survived the mission without a problem, bring this movement one more beautiful story.
The example Pogue wore to space is a 6139 in Gold dial with the Pepsi bezel, this particular example we are offering today is a reverse of the Pogue 6139 Pepsi bezel with a black dial and a faded white chapter ring under the crystal. The Pepsi bezel has aged to a faded red and light blue colour, the white chapter ring has been aged to a yellow / pale yellow colour. The dial automatic font has been aged to fade as well. This example looks like is produced for the Arabic market with the arabic day wheel which is a rare find in Seiko 6139.Β
We choose to acquireΒ this particular example because of its ageing on the chapter ring and its contrast give to the ageing bezel. The white chapter ring on this Seiko 6139 is more contrast and modern compare with the Seiko 6139 Pogue with Gold dial in my opinion.Β
The case of the watch is in a good condition. The caseback have experienced some polishing as the caseback text is a bit light.Β Β
Overall this Seiko 6139 reverse Pogue is a perfect example for your everyday wear and is defiently a conversation starter when you meet anyone who is interested in watches.Β
The watch comes with an aftermarket Seiko bracelet in a nice condition. Alternatively, you can pair the watch with a nato strap perfect for your everyday outfit without being too flashy!
