[Album](https://imgur.com/a/SWs6V8B) [Videos](https://imgur.com/a/IU2fqln)\- first one shows start/stop/reset, second one shows the subdial ticking over at 1 minute. (Note- the bracelet is not included in the sale sorry) [Time stamp](https://imgur.com/a/RvBilzh) This is a Seiko 6138-8020 from January 1975. Previous owner serviced it in 2019, but I had my watchmaker look it over and replace the seals and oil the rear jewels in November 2020 when I purchased it. Dial/hands/movement/crown/case are all original. I think, but am not sure, that the acrylic crystal has been replaced at some point. Chronograph functions correctly, resets to zero. Quick set day and date also working correctly. The dial has developed a warm tropical patina, that really changes with the ambient lighting. Comes with brown leather strap. These are getting harder and harder to find, especially with original dials. Looking for $950USD + shipping from New Zealand. Will accept PayPal F&F or Wise.

	Established:	1881

	Country of Origin:	Japan

The company was founded in 1881, when Kintarō Hattori opened a watch and jewelry shop called "K. Hattori" (服部時計店 Hattori Tokeiten?) in the Ginza area of Tokyo, Japan. Eleven years later, in 1892, he began to produce clocks under the name Seikosha (精工舎 Seikōsha?), meaning roughly "House of Exquisite Workmanship". According to Seiko's official company history, titled "A Journey In Time: The Remarkable Story of Seiko" (2003), Seiko is a Japanese word meaning "exquisite" or "success" ("exquisite" is usually written 精巧 from Chinese jīngqiǎo, while the meaning "success" is usually written 成功 from Chinese chénggōng).

Seiko is perhaps best known for its wristwatches, all of which were at one time produced entirely in-house. This includes not only major items such as microgears, motors, hands, crystal oscillators, batteries, sensors, LCDs but also minor items such as the oils used in lubricating the watches and the luminous compounds used on the hands and the dials.
