Description from the seller

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.
Watch in perfectly working condition
Bracelet not original
The crystal is aftermarket but I also ship the original one with some signs of time
