1973 Seiko 6119-6400 Automatic 70m Sport Diver “UFO”
Seiko's UFO Sport Divers from the late 60's and 70's offer big and bold diver styling with pounds of vintage appeal. The UFO moniker comes from the “saucer” shaped style of the case, and it has long been a favorite of vintage seiko enthusiasts. This example from February of ‘73 is a super clean stunner with a textured matte black dial, and relief hour markers with bright white luminous. The rotating inner bezel is a glossy black "count up" style that rotates smoothly in either direction via the crown. Lengthy polished batons make for easy legibility, and the honey gold sweep can’t be missed. The factory circular brush finish on the case is still crisp and it’s topped with a polished edge bezel with glassy black inlay. It’s unpolished and completely original aside from a replacement crystal, and post service it’s keeping near perfect time. We’ve paired it with a “Tropic” style black composite strap for a period correct, and comfortable fit and finish. Versatile appeal and a work horse calibre come together in a classic sport diver that’s as robust as it is reliable.
