NWA Seiko Helmet

violanime

Picked up this beauty off watchexchange, love how the white pops and the way you change the date/day (push the crown in deep/slightly). This is the Seiko 6139-7100 given the nickname "Helmet." The black version is often called the Darth Vader. It houses Seiko's famous automatic chronograph developed in 1969 during the race to put out the first auto-chrono

Very interesting case and I like the contrast between the dial and black day/date wheel! 

Congratulations,

A beautiful watch mate. I’ve a few vintage pieces myself. Priceless, but a pain to service..
