Seiko 6206-8050 "Sea Lion M88", Dec '66, 26 jewels, full serviced & restored
This is a Seiko 6206 that I recently restored out of my projects drawers. This was a one-owner watch, and he took good care of it. Dial and hands are immaculate. This is a non-lumed model, with curve-topped hour & minute hands, and square cross-topped markers, and linen dial surface.
These were a very nice higher-end piece when they were made, with a beautifully gold plated 26-jewel movement. 18,000 bph chuggers, but solid and accurate. Really excellent movements, almost the top of the 62xx’s. Case is full stainless steel in excellent original condition. Original finishing, brushing, and caseback etching all nice, clean, and legible.
While this model did come on a bracelet, this one didn’t have it. I could provide a Speidel type expansion band, the so-called OMB (old man band) if you wanted.
