Seiko 6309-7040 July 1981

This is a beautiful example of the iconic 1981 6309 Turtle with a patina dial that has aged naturally over the past 40+ years.  The warm lume gives it incredible vintage character while the case still retains its classic lines.    Reported by the previous owner, who served four years in the U.S. Navy, this watch traveled around the world twice during his service.  He also shared that it belonged to a Veteran before he acquired it, adding another chapter to its unique history.   The watch features: • July 1981 production  • Original dial with beautiful natural patina  • Day/date calendar works as it should  • Case has less than age appropriate wear  • Crown screws down as it should  • Bezel clicks nicely and is bidirectional   • Unique custom Olongapo band (included)  It has been a pleasure to own, but it's time for another collector to enjoy it.
