► SELLER'S DESCRIPTION
Up for sale is a rare vintage Seiko 5 Sports Speedtimer UFO 6138-0011 men’s automatic chronograph watch, produced for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM) during the 1970s. The 6138-0011, commonly known among collectors as the “UFO,” is one of Seiko’s most iconic automatic chronographs, prized for its distinctive cushion-shaped case, robust 6138 movement, and historical significance as one of Seiko’s legendary automatic chronographs. This example is the highly desirable Japanese domestic version, featuring the original Japanese day wheel along with the correct Seiko 5 Sports and Speedtimer dial insignia that collectors look for. The watch is being sold for parts and repair as it is currently not running. The crown pulls out and operates freely but does not seem to engage the movement. The chronograph pushers also do not appear to engage the chronograph mechanism. The watch will require a service before it can be returned to proper working order. The watch is completely unrestored and is fitted on an aftermarket genuine Seiko 5 Sports stainless steel bracelet. The watch is in good physical condition with signs of use and age. The photos best describe its physical condition and should be reviewed carefully by interested buyers.
