1972 Seiko 6119-6050 5 Sports “Regatta” 70m Diver (Resist dial)
This all original, and rarely seen 6050 from December of ‘72 is often attached to the "Rally" diver family of the same era, but is in fact something else altogether. Listing the features, we have a bright cerulean and turquoise 12-hour inner bezel, and an outer 60-minute count down in silver and black. Noteworthy of the outer bezel though, is that the 10 and 20 minute segments are highlighted in a deep metallic red. The blaze orange second hand can be seen from miles away against the minty, and rarely seen silver sunburst dial with large, white luminous markers. It sports a 70m "Resist" demarcation, but this layout is actually designed for use just above the water as a means to track time during boating races known as regattas. The uniquely shaped case is 41mm in diameter, but with a much thinner profile than is typical of vintage Seiko divers, and sharp corners with polished, faceted lugs. It is unpolished with the original factory finishes still intact. The 6119 behind the dial is a solid built workhorse movement, and post service, it’s keeping near perfect time. Paired with an Uncle Seiko Wide-Link bracelet with a vintage Seiko clasp that complements the colors around the dial, and offers comfort on the wrist. Don’t miss this opportunity to add a rare Seiko great to your line up.
