1974 Seiko "KAKUME" SpeedTimer 6138-0030

 Serviced, 1974 JDM Seiko 5 Sports SpeedTimer "Kakume", 23 jewels automatic chronograph with manual winding in excellent condition. 

Kukume translates from Japanese as square eyes, because of the pair or square sub registers that look at you from this impressive chronograph.

Magnificent, cobalt blue dial is nearly flawless, matched by well preserved bezel insert, showing only minor signs of wear. 

Hands are all original and in excellent condition. Minute and hour hands are freshly relumed and matching original color perfectly.

Case has few small scratches, but overall condition is very good, original with strong, lines and smooth curves. No pitting or corrosion anywhere. 

Original stainless steel bracelet  is in excellent condition. It has original Seiko, retractable clasp extension. As is, it fits 17.5cm wrist comfortably. It can be pulled out for additional 15mm.

Movement has been serviced and it runs with strong amplitude and good accuracy. All buttons and crown operations work as they should. Snapy and precise. Unlike 6139, caliber 6138 has manual winding and minute and hour recorder hands. Weekdays are in English and Kanji. 

New crystal and new rubber gaskets on the crown, pushers and caseback.
