SEIKO DIVER COLLECTION Seiko 6217 62MAS, Seiko 6105, & Seiko 6309 Turtle

  

I have for sale my Seiko Diver Collection. These are all original but in non-running condition.

This watch was manufactured in 1967 and was the first Seiko Diver produced, known as the 62mas. Excellent patina, all orignal, with no visible damage, no deep scratches or nicks. In 1965 they felt they met these goals and released the Seiko 150M automatic diver (6217 62MAS), Seikos (and Japans) first dive watch.

The 6217 contains elements that one would expect from a dive watch: large, luminous hour markers, luminous hands and a bi-directional rotating bezel. The crown of the watch is at 3 oclock and is absent of crown guards at this stage. The watch measures 39mm which places it as a larger sized watch by 1965 standards. 6127, is a 17 jewel automatic movement running at 18,000 pbh.

Seiko was very proud of this initial effort and felt it was a good competitor in the dive watch market. Now, being over 40 years discontinued, the 6217 series fetch well into the thousands of dollars. This watch was manufactured in 1976. The crystal is scuffed, but no deep scratched. Generally, the case is good but does have some scratches. This is a good one. One of the more popular Seiko dive watches, probably due to its more accessible price range as well as length of availability, is the Seiko 6105. This 150M water resistant watch was available on US military bases and as such it became quite popular with US soldiers during the Vietnam war; there are many examples of G.

S wearing a 6105 in combat. Finding one in good condition can be tricky, but they are out there for a price. This is my favorite and was running until recently, when the second hand fell off. It was manufactured in 1978. This was my daily watch and I got more attention from it, then my Submariner.

The 6309 is also a 150M rated dive watch and was produced from 1976 to 1988. Like the previous model it replaces, the 6309 is also a cushion case watch although not as dramatic as the 6105. This was was also popular with the military like the 6105 before it and is very popular with collectors. This watch was professionally restored 2 years ago with all NOS parts. However, some collectors prefer all original patina and wear without restoration.

Each watch alone is very desirable, but all together is a rare find. I will include a brand new leather NATO strap for the 6217. It is 19 mm and polished stainless. The item "SEIKO DIVER COLLECTION Seiko 6217 62MAS, Seiko 6105, & Seiko 6309 Turtle" is in sale since Monday, May 15, 2017.
