Description
This is an automatically translated text.
The Seiko 6138-0040 from 1970 is a true horological masterpiece, a legendary chronograph that has survived the decades while retaining its timeless beauty. This watch has a unique feature that sets it apart from many others: it is a Bullhead model, which means that the crown and push-buttons for adjustment are located on the top of the watch, recalling the shape of a bull's head.

One of the most striking features of this watch is its red aluminum bezel, which lends the whole a distinctive, sporty look. Over the years, this bezel has acquired traces of wear that testify to the watch's history and use, adding a touch of character and authenticity.

The watch's dial is a dominant brown color, offering a warm, refined backdrop. The gold subdials for the chronograph hours and minutes are not only functional, but also add a touch of elegance and sophistication to the whole. The use of gold contrasts beautifully with the brown of the dial, creating a remarkable visual balance.

A closer look at this timepiece shows just how well it has been preserved over the years. The watch case is remarkably clean, with only slight signs of use that testify to its history. The original bracelet, too, has been carefully preserved, adding to the watch's vintage charm.

Overall, the Seiko 6138-0040 from 1970 is much more than just a watch. It's a testament to Seiko's watchmaking expertise, avant-garde design for its time, and the quality of its materials. It also embodies the history and style of an entire era. A watch that, even after decades, continues to seduce with its timeless beauty and unique character. A true collector's item for watch lovers.
