Seiko 6138-0011 “UFO Yachtman” | 1976 Vintage Chronograph | Original Black Dial | Rare Collectible

The Seiko 6138-0011, nicknamed the “UFO Yachtman,” is a rare and iconic vintage chronograph from 1976. Known for its distinctive 44mm cushion-shaped case and bold design, this watch is a favorite among collectors and enthusiasts.

Featuring an original black dial, day-date function, and a Seiko Caliber 6138B automatic movement with 21 jewels, this chronograph is both functional and stylish. The stainless steel case has been refurbished to maintain its vintage charm, while the original plexiglass crystal and stainless steel bracelet add to its authenticity.

A true gem from the 1970s, the Seiko UFO Yachtman is a must-have for any serious collector.

Historical Significance:

The Seiko 6138 series, introduced in the 1970s, was one of the first automatic chronograph movements in the world. The 6138-0011, with its large cushion-shaped case and bold design, earned the nickname “UFO” due to its resemblance to a flying saucer.

The “Yachtman” moniker comes from its association with yachting and maritime activities, thanks to its robust construction and sporty aesthetic. This model, with its original black dial and day-date function, represents Seiko’s commitment to creating durable and stylish timepieces for active lifestyles.

As a piece from 1976, this watch captures the era’s fascination with bold designs and innovative technology.

Why This Watch Stands Out:

Iconic Design: The 44mm cushion-shaped case and black dial create a bold and distinctive look.
UFO Nickname: The watch’s unique case shape earned it the nickname “UFO,” adding to its collectible appeal.
Yachtman Heritage: The robust design and sporty aesthetic make it a favorite among yachting enthusiasts.
Reliable Movement: The Seiko 6138B automatic movement is known for its durability and precision.
Original Components: The original dial, plexiglass crystal, and stainless steel bracelet enhance the watch’s authenticity.
