they are a very good quality piece - I owned one before I concentrated only on Citizens. Quite rare too - the 5619 movement is a 5606 with the additional hand.

I have a few of these, including a NOS one, and none of them has a date/GMT hand that sets. These all have the same quickset problem as all the other 56-series watches do. If yours works, then you scored!

If yours works, then you scored! it does actually work fine, now that you're alerting me, though, i'll be extra careful with date/hour setting!

I'm confused. Can the second hour hand be set independently from the first hour hand?

I'm confused. Can the second hour hand be set independently from the first hour hand? the 2nd hour hand moves with the main one, but can be adjusted in 1 hour increments by turning the crown on 1st position. There's a bit of resistance and then it moves a whole hour. the movement handwinds and hacks, too, apart from being quite accurate so far

I've been searching for a vintage seiko with this complication.
