Seiko 66-0100

[pshap]

Here's the contents of the two packages I was waiting for today. An 66-0100 on its way back from some TLC with Spencer, and a Brown Hirsch calfskin strap. All I know that it was made in 1965 and it's handwound. I'm sure Spencer has more insight into the watch.



I'll try and take some more pics at some point, I was having issues with my camera.

It's glorious man, growing old with dignity and grace, put it to good use. cheering-clapping-smiley-emoticon

I love it's classic design, very elegant.

I'm becoming more and more confused about the dates on these.  66B's apparently were coming out later than I thought.  I still believe that your watch was a 60s watch based on the movement (old-school handwind) alone, not to mention the very simple early caseback.  I just bought a 66B-powered hand-wind that is apparently from the early 70s - see the caseback below.  It's quite different that what you're seeing on yours.

I have the same watch


The case back is the same as yours except it has JAPAN J under the serial number instead of TL.

Another wrist shot, idk if this one is any better.

Nice!  I'll have a look around for that handset - I've been wrestling with a 6138 which is always an absorbing pursuit.

That is a very nice piece you got there, congratulations!

I really like the clean dial and classic overall design, plus a low-beat tractor calibre like calibre 66 is hard to beat when it comes to durability :-)

Enjoy and wear it in best of health!

Best,
