WHAT WE LOVE:
The Seiko 6139-6012, affectionately known among collectors as the ‘Bruce Lee’, is one of the most storied vintage chronographs in Seiko’s history. Made famous by the martial arts icon himself, who was frequently photographed wearing one, this reference holds a special place at the intersection of horology and cultural legacy.
Introduced in the early 1970s, the 6139-6012 was part of the groundbreaking Seiko 6139 series — among the first automatic chronographs ever made. It features a distinctive cushion case, a golden yellow dial, and a black internal rotating bezel. For fans of both Seiko and Bruce Lee, this reference is more than a watch — it’s a time capsule from a defining era.
WHAT’S INSIDE:
Beating inside is the Seiko Calibre 6139B, an in-house automatic chronograph movement launched in 1969 as one of the world’s first. It features a vertical clutch and column wheel — innovations usually found in high-end Swiss chronographs — with a 30-minute register and quick-set day/date complication. The 6139 is not just historically important; it’s mechanically impressive and reliable when well-maintained.
