Seiko - 6309-7049 - Men - 1970-1979

Seiko "Turtle" 6309-7049.
This is one of the divers most loved by collectors, produced between 1976 and 1988. The specific reference -7049 indicates that it was originally destined for the North American market (while the -7040 was for the rest of the world), but the two models are technically identical
].Why it’s special: The Cushion Case: The iconic cushion shape (from which the name Turtle comes) is not just aesthetic, but served to protect the crown, positioned at 4 o’clock to avoid hindering wrist movement.
.Movement 6309: A 17-jewel automatic calibre, "unstoppable." It is known for its extreme longevity, even if after decades it requires a service to maintain accuracy.
.Dial detail: Above the 6 o’clock index, you can notice the small Suwa Seikosha symbol (a sort of stylized whirl), which certifies production in one of Seiko’s historic factories in Japan.
