Seiko 6138-7000 Slide-Rule Chronograph, July 1974
Seiko 6138-7000 slide-rule chronograph from July 1974. I’ve owned this watch for many years. The original restoration was a collaboration between myself, Jonathan Koch, and Lew Brown. It is a wearable worry-free example of this super cool and not that common pilot’s chronograph, with a slide-rule to allow quick conversions and other feats of mathematical genius.
