Like it's Lotus 72 namesake, the 6139-8030 is a finely tuned machine with aerodynamic lines, crisp corners, and a slick black and gold paint job. At 40mm, it's not overpowering, and still packs plenty of presence. The matte black dial is deeply set beneath the gold minute track and black tachymetric chapter. The cushion shaped sub registers are a rich satin gold with a distinct "north to south" grain. This example from August of ‘77 is an absolute stunner. The original factory finishes and sharp case lines are still visible on the unpolished case, and the everything beneath the beveled mineral crystal is absolutely mint. In tribute, we’ve paired it with a British Racing Green Cordura strap for a bold and comfortable finish. It’s completely original aside from a replacement crystal, and post service, its keeping near perfect time. The chronograph functions are snappy and responsive. The day and date can be independently quickset via the crown, and the 6138B offers both manual and automatic winding. A true Seiko great, the JPS should be on every collectors list. A sleek racing chronograph with historic racing heritage, and in this case, incredibly well preserved.
