BEEFY~1972 SEIKO 6138-7000 SLIDE RULE

COMING AT YOU IS ONE OF THE QUINTESSENTIAL CHRONOGRAPHS OF THE 1970S: THE SEIKO 6138-7000 FLIGHT CALCULATOR CHRONO   CASE: HEFTY SOLID STEEL CASE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.  THIS BEAUTY MEASURES A PORTLY 44mm ACROSS CASE NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL CROWN AND PUSHERS. NO ONE QUITE DID THIS CASE DESIGN LIKE SEIKO DID WITH THIS MODEL. THIS ONE LOOKS TO BE TOTALLY UNPOLISHED MAINTAINING ITS ORIGINAL FINISHES AND SHARP LINES. CHECK OUT THAT TOTALLY FANTASTIC ROTATING SLIDE RULE BEZEL GEARED TOWARDS FLIGHT CALCULATIONS.    DIAL: REALLY NICE EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THE FUNKIEST FACES OF THE 6138 LINE OF WATCHES. I LOVE THE 2 VERTICALLY ALIGNED SUNKEN DARK GREY PIE-PAN SUBDIALS WHICH GIVE THIS SOME SERIOUS DEPTH. I DIG THE SPUNKY POPS OF ORANGE ON THE SUBDIALS AND THE CHRONO SWEEPER. LUME PLOTS HAVE JUST A SUBTLE TINGE OF PATINA WHICH MATCH NICELY WITH THAT ON THOSE WHITE/BLACK HANDS.   MOVEMENT: THIS GUY IS POWERED BY A 21 JEWEL SEIKO 6138B AUTOMATIC CHRONOGRAPH. ONE OF MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE MOVEME
