Part of the Seiko 6139 series, which was one of the first automatic chronographs released in 1969, the 1972 SEIKO Golden Chronograph Automatic Watch Ref. 6139-6015 is exceptional. William Pogue, an astronaut, wore a Seiko 6139 during the 1973 Skylab 4 trip, making it the first automatic chronograph in space. This series is noteworthy historically because of its innovative technology and affiliation with NASA.
Sturdy construction, an advanced day-date complexity, and an eye-catching gold-tone dial set the 6139-6015 apart. A valuable addition to Seiko's innovative tradition, its antique appeal and rarity make it highly collectible. As a sought-after item for collectors and enthusiasts, the watch represents Seiko's achievements to horology by fusing aesthetic appeal with practicality.
