This is my second classic 6159-7010 shrouded diver that was made between 1975 and 1978. Some say that its sheer rarity puts its desirability, the 6159-7010 was one of the best JDM Seiko Diver ever produced, using 6159A automatic movement that mostly equipped the Grand Seiko watches.

COLLECTORS' ITEM ~ SEIKO 6306-7001 GENTS WRISTWATCH









In 1976, Seiko introduced its third model of diver's watch. This third model came in calibers 6309 and 6306 -the twin brothers conceived in 1975 and theircommercialization started in 1976. Seiko put 6309 and 6306 in production in 1976 but the 6306s came first.



The 6306s were intended for Japan domestic market only while 6309s for anywhere in the world. Production of these watches started from 1976 in Suwa Seikosha Japan but in 1981 Seiko discontinued 6306s and allowed production runs for 6309s to continue until 1988.



Both 6306 and 6309 diver's watch share the same basic specifications, except that 6306 is
21-jeweled, second-hand hackable and came with Kanji/English day wheel. Its brother 6309 came with 17 jewels and does not hack. Both run at 21,600 beats per hour (bph) with quick set day/date calendar mechanism and were originally rated to 150m WR.



The 6306s and 6309s originally came with "SUWA" dial variant with "JAPAN A"-signed back case

cover, except those 6309s produced in the latter of 1981 at Seiko Plant in Hong Kong.



The Seiko's third model of diver's watches (6306/6309) have proven their worth. For over 3 decades they have withstood the test of time. One can say with conviction that a 30-year-old of this model when overhauled, cleaned, oiled and regulated will live for another decades again. They are indeed the
"workhorse" movements as described by their users/collectors around the world.

About Seiko


In 1877, at the age of 18, Kintaro Hattori set up business repairing the Western-style clocks that were becoming increasingly popular in Japan. By 1892, Hattori was manufacturing his own clocks in a factory he called Seikosha, from the words "seiko" meaning "exquisite," "success," or "miniature," and "sha" meaning "house." The company grew and prospered, producing its first wristwatch in 1913 and launching the Seiko brand in 1924. Technological innovation has always been a driving force in the company's history. Key milestones include Seiko's introduction of the world's first quartz watch in 1969, and its successful launch, in 1988, of the Kinetic, the world's first battery-free watch with quartz accuracy. Today, the Seiko brand continues to stand for state-of-the-art technology, as well as superior quality and refined design.

From Humble beginnings, Kintaro Hattori’s Vision for Seiko has become reality. A consuming passion for excellence - imprinted in our Corporate DNA passed from generation to generation. Seiko, for 125 years committed to the art and science of time.

A culture of innovation connects a 19th century Tokyo clock shop with 20th century advances in timekeeping to an extraordinary 21st century "quiet revolution." Continually driven by dedication and passion, established a multitude of world’s first technologies… transforming the principles of timekeeping.

The first quartz wristwatch – changed the history of time.

The first Kinetic – marked a new era in quartz watch technology.

In 1969, Seiko Astron, the first quartz wristwatch - was introduced.

In an instant, Seiko exponentially improved the accuracy of wristwatches –And Seiko technology firmly established today’s standard in Olympic and sports timing.

1984, another celebrated first – Kinetic Technology – powered by body movement.

Kinetic – a quartz mechanism with unparalleled accuracy –the driving force behind more world’s firsts.

Kinetic Chronograph – the next generation of high performance timekeeping.

Kinetic Auto Relay – automatically resets to the correct time.

Kinetic Perpetual - combining the date perfect technology of perpetual calendar with the genius of Kinetic Auto Relay.

And now Kinetic Direct Drive – move, and the watch is powered automatically. Or hand wind it and see the power you are generating in real time.

In the realm of fine watches, time is measured by Seiko innovation – A heritage of dedication to the art and science of time.
