This specific model with the arabic numerals was also mentioned in the new SpeedTimer-book by Ryugo Sadao, as one that was issued to JASDF.

I assume JASDF purchased several different models over time, here’s a 6139-7060:

Caseback is different and lacks the flower symbol, but does say “Japanese Air Self Defence Force”

A little late to the party but the info on this watch is incorrect. That is a 6139-7020 dial in a 7060 case.

What Tom said. It's a mutt.

Thanks for the spotting that, you’re absolutely right! I’ll amend my notes.

This just sold on yahoo jp today so adding one more to the known examples. I will upload more pictures when I take delivery. I've never seen this bracelet before anyone have any clue what watch it's from?

I forgot to upload some pictures when it arrived but here it is. Interestingly the inside markings are calling it a 6139-7012 I was expecting to see 7010 or 7011.

Awesome, thanks for sharing, and congratulations! Interesting too that the Seiko serial number is for August 1972 (assuming they follow the same format as the normal serial numbers, which would be logical), but with a "proof" dial. This matches with my "proof" example as well: it is also from August 1972, and the JASDF number is 47328 so quite close to yours. Mine is ref. 6139-7011 though.

Edit: just took another look and mine is also actually a 6139-7012.
