This is an all-original ‘True Pogue’, of the same exact model as Col. Pogue’s own Seiko 6139. It is an early example; these were made from the end of January 1971 through April 1972. The first months of production had the watches built with the 6139A movement and one-piece main sweep hand. Col. Pogue wore his 6139 in orbit on board Skylab, along with his NASA-issued Omega Speedmaster. He kept one set to Houston, and the other to his home.

• Fully serviced True Pogue made in February 1971. This watch is original and original to itself.

• Correct early-make 6139A movement upgraded with upper & lower mainspring arbor jewels

• All lume original. Hand lume excellent, dial lume shows a bit of patina, same for the indicator ring pip.

• Dial is a light yellow gold with a lighter band around the subdial. No oxidation spots or marks

• Dial printing is clear and intact

• Indicator ring rotates through 360º
