The rare and collectible Seiko Pepsi Navigator Timer GMT 6117-6410 was made for the Japanese Domestic Market in the early 1970s. It is a very sought-after timepiece, reflecting a period of innovative design and global connection.
This model is driven by the reliable 17-jewel Caliber 6117A automatic movement, allowing for the tracking of a second time zone with ease. It features a striking black dial, complemented by a noticeable black-and-blue "Pepsi" 24-hour rotating inner bezel, and a central red 24-hour GMT hand for clear legibility. Its cushioned stainless steel case measures 41mm and includes a quick-set date at three o'clock, with illuminated hands and markers for visibility in any light.
The 6117-6410 holds significant historical importance as it was among the first reasonably priced mechanical GMT watches made by Seiko, offering features comparable to expensive Swiss timepieces of its era. Its popularity stems from its elegant design, useful complexities, and unique position in Seiko's travel watch legacy, making it highly valued by watch enthusiasts due to its rarity and distinctive appeal.
