A rare and collector-friendly model from Seiko's legendary 6139 chronograph series: the "Ghost Bezel." Produced in the mid-1970s, this watch features the Cal. 6139, one of the most significant milestones in the world of automatic chronographs. With its column wheel and vertical clutch design, this movement represents the most advanced technology of its time, demonstrating Seiko's innovative role in watchmaking history.

The most distinctive detail that distinguishes this example is the outer tachymeter ring, which collectors call the "ghost bezel." Originally gray-black, the bezel has lost its gray over time due to exposure to sunlight, sweat, and wear, acquiring a distinctive silvery, faded appearance. This natural patina is the model's trademark and easily distinguishes it from fake reproductions.
