Seiko - 1970s Resist 6139-6002 'Yellow Pogue'

WHAT WE LOVE:

This Seiko, celebrated for its historical significance, is part of the pioneering 6139 series—one of the earliest automatic chronographs to hit the market, alongside Zenith’s El Primero and Heuer’s Calibre 11.

The Seiko 6139 also gained fame for its association with U.S. astronaut Colonel William Pogue, who wore it during the 1973 Skylab 4 mission. Despite not having NASA approval, Pogue trusted his Seiko for crucial timing tasks, underscoring its reliability and precision.

Released in 1969, the Seiko 6139 was among the first automatic chronographs, making its debut alongside other industry giants. Seiko’s innovation extended beyond this model, with the release of the world's first quartz watch, the Astron, later that same year, further cementing its place in watchmaking history.
