Seiko 6309-7049 Diver

Quite simply one of our favourite Seiko's ever made. Produced from 1976 to 1988, it is the successor to the famous 6109. The 6309 moved to a symmetrical 'Turtle' case rather than the Assymetrical case seen in the earlier series, and measures in at 45mm. It doesn't wear as large at that measurement would indicate due to the integration of the lugs into the case.

Within this case lies a matte black dial with unique bell-shaped markers at 6 and 9, with a double-bell at 12, all in tritium. The hands are also Tritium, with the well known syringe hour hand, arrow minute hand and lollipop second hand. Surrounding it is a 60 click bi-directional bezel with two rows of knurling for added ease of use. This example also features a NOS genuine Hardlex crystal.

This particular piece dates form circa-1979 and presents in excellent vintage condition, having been serviced by Vintage Time Australia in August 2020. Case is thick and sharp, and shows dings and scratches commensurate with its age.

Dial is in magnificent condition, with all markers full and showing little degradation. Tritium hands are full and also in excellent condition with very little in the way of degradation.

Currently mounted to a superb Uncle rubber strap with aftermarket tang buckle.

All functions operate as they should.

Comes with service receipt from Vintage Time Australia, Watch Vault cleaning cloth, Watch Vault Travel Case and Seiko vintage watch box (missing cushion).

You'd be hard pressed to find a much better example than this one.
