Questions About Seiko Tachibana Art
- Are Seikos collectible?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Whether or not Seiko watches are collectible is largely a matter of personal opinion. Some watch collectors prefer to focus on Swiss-made timepieces. However, there are collectors who invest in vintage Seiko watches as collectible items. On 1stDibs, find a range of Seiko watches.
- When was the Seiko 6139 made?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertJanuary 19, 2025The Seiko 6139 was made from 1969 to around 1978. Development of the watch took two years, and its official debut was in May 1969 as the 61 Speed-Timer. It was a breakthrough in timepiece design, being the first automatic chronograph that could perform reliably at zero gravity. Find a selection of Seiko watches on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Seiko watches include a few different identifying marks. Before 1970, serial numbers were seven digits, and limited-edition models had a piece number. Modern Seiko watches have a six-digit serial number, which includes the manufacturing date. You can also shop expertly vetted vintage Seiko watches from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- Is the Seiko 6139 a good watch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertDecember 17, 2024Many watch lovers believe that the Seiko 6139 is a good watch. When it debuted in 1969, the timepiece's Caliber 6139 movement marked a breakthrough in watchmaking, as it combined chronograph functionality with self-winding convenience. Fans of the watch often describe the movement as reliable and precise and frequently state that they find its bold, rotating bezel visually appealing. One of the most popular versions is the so-called Pogue, which became famous after astronaut William Pogue sported it during a NASA mission. Shop a collection of Seiko watches on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 26, 2024Yes, some Seiko watches may be worth something. Trends in collecting do change over time, but some vintage Seiko models are enduringly popular among collections. Examples include the Seiko Bullhead Chronograph 6138-0060 Series, the Seiko Pogue Chronograph 6139-6002 Series, the Seiko Captain Willard 6105-8110 Series, the Grand Seiko J14070 Series and the Seiko Hi-Beat Diver 6159-7000 Series. Generally, how much a Seiko timepiece is worth depends on its materials, model, age and condition.
