Spencer, That I'm aware, the 6309 never used a tension spring in the bezels. Not knowing the full service history of your watch could it be possible that someone previously replaced the o-ring with the spring that you found in it?
If your bezel has slope with a new o-ring I have a method here for resizing the bezel to ensure proper engagement.

It was really odd and I'm not sure how it would have happened. Based on the condition of the watch it wasn't due to wear, so perhaps a manufacturing defect. What's the technique? Is it top-secret?

I think we've both learned that when it comes to Seiko, sometimes there just isn't any clear cut answers. Anything is possible

Terrific find, great job taking the risk. This is how we get those 'barn finds' as we say in vintage autos.
Well Played and enjoy it in good health !
