Beautiful two-tone Seiko Bell-Matic from February 1971. Doesn’t look a day over 1 for a 52-year old watch. Gold plating on bracelet is in great shape and sharp lines on the case.
Seiko introduced their alarm watch in 1966, and in 1969 they introduced the 17 jewel version of the Bell-Matic 4006A movement seen here. It was used from that point on in almost all Bell-Matics until the end of their production in 1978.
Comes with green watch pouch.
A well written background on the watch can be found here.

Error Bezel?
For a period, GMT and London were an hour apart on the place name bezel of the Seiko World Time. This was not an error. Britain has followed British Summer Time since WWII, except for an experiment between 1968 and 1971 when the clocks went forward but were not put back. The experiment was discontinued after a cost benefit analysis proved inconclusive. This Seiko 6117-6409 from January 1971 reflects that experiment. Of note, even today London is only on GMT 6 months of the year.
Here we have a 1916 Omega manual wind movement housed in a 9-carat gold Dennison case from 1924 or 1925. We do not know the providence of the watch and whether it has been recased. Maybe it was originally a trench watch and then recased after the war. Either way it is a beautiful example on this reproduction WWI trench watch strap.
What also makes this watch interesting is the case manufacturer. The Dennison Watch Case Co established in 1905 by the son and grandson of AARON LUFKIN DENNISON. It was the successor company to ALD’s Dennison, Wigley & Company. Dennison was one of the founders of the Waltham Watch Company before relocating to Europe.
Look at all those hallmarks and watchmaker marks. A lot of history there!

While not a true dive watch, the Seiko 5 Sports models with 70m water resistance and rotating bezel was marketed to the growing water sports enthusiasts of the late 60s. This May 1969 Seiko 5126 manufactured for the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) was purchased from our friends at @twovintageseikos. It was then serviced by @clocksavant in November 2018. You can read about Eric’s service on this watch here.
“The Seiko 5126 movement comes from the Seiko 5100 range of automatic movements produced in the Daini factory between 1969 and 1971 for the Japanese domestic market. Compared to many other Seiko models, the 5126 is relatively rare with fewer good examples and virtually no new old stock parts available. The 5126 is different from many other Seiko movements. It has more parts and complexity in its automatic and setting mechanisms. The automatic mechanism is a bit more “Swiss” in design. The quickset mechanism has some unusual layered spring-driven sliding components that, in some ways, remind me more of a chronograph than a setting mechanism. When properly serviced the Seiko 5126 can provide excellent accuracy and amplitude and this watch is now running extremely well once again.”
Watch is all original including its original Seiko razor bracelet sized 7.5+”. The bracelet is missing one medium sized link as can be seen in photos.
This March 1970 Seiko 6139 “Resist” with notched case was serviced by @clocksavant in January 2020. All original with replaced NOS crystal. Comes with its possibly original Seiko bracelet size 7-7.25” and a new Crown & Buckle Nato Strap.
Purchased from the thrift store of the St. Vincent de Paul Society of Sonoma County, the case has sharp lines and grain, and after servicing is set to last another 50 years.
