► SELLER'S DESCRIPTION
Up for sale is a rare vintage Seiko Chronograph UFO Yachtsman 6138-0011 men’s automatic sports watch from the 1970s. The 6138-0011, commonly known among collectors as the “UFO” or “Yachtsman,” is one of Seiko’s most recognizable vintage automatic chronographs, known for its distinctive design and Seiko’s legendary 6138 automatic chronograph movement.
The Japanese domestic variant of this model was labeled “Speedtimer,” while export versions were produced without the Speedtimer designation on the dial. This example is an export version, featuring an English/Roman numeral day wheel and a dial without the Speedtimer insignia found on the Japanese variant.
The watch is in full working condition and running and holding accurate time over a 24-hour period. The chronograph is fully functional and resets correctly to its proper positions.
As with any nearly 60-year-old chronograph with an unknown service history, the buyer should understand the vintage nature of the watch. While the chronograph was observed functioning properly, these movements contain delicate components that can become damaged or misaligned through excessive use, misuse, or lack of servicing. If absolute perfect operation is desired, I would recommend having the watch serviced.
The watch is fitted with a genuine aftermarket Seiko stainless steel bracelet.
The watch is in good vintage physical condition with signs of use and age. The photos best describe its overall appearance and physical condition and should be reviewed carefully.
