Seiko True Pogue Automatic Chronograph reference 6139-6005

This Seiko reference 6139-6005 is a “True Pogue” Chronograph in that is the same reference and dial worn by Colonel William Reid Pogue on Skylab 4. Colonel Pogue had a “Resist dial” showing “WATER 70m RESIST” by 9:00 and it was a reference 6005 made for the American market rather than reference 6002 made for international markets. The reference 6002 said “CHRONOGRAPH” below “AUTOMATIC” below “SEIKO” at 12:00, but the reference 6005 only says “AUTOMATIC” below “SEIKO” at 12:00.

The dial and bezel combination on this watch is iconic and this example is in exemplary condition. The serial is 160349, indicating production in June 1971. The watch is approximately 40mm. It has the original H-link bracelet in unpolished and tight condition.
