Hey WatchEx! I’m looking to sell my 1971 Seiko 6117-6410 Automatic “Navigator Timer”, originally purchased, fully restored, from the fine folks at Hub City Vintage back in February 2023 ([their listing](https://www.hubcityvintage.com/archive-iiii/1971-seiko-6117-6410-automatic-navigator-timer-gmtresist-1)). This watch has an inner rotating 24-hour bezel and a fixed 24 hour hand, which allows for easy calculation of other time zones. I believe this was the second generation of Seiko watches to feature this world-timer setup. Somewhat interestingly, the original owner decided to engrave their name and what I think is a phone number on the case back. Definitely gives it some character! The watch is in very good unpolished condition, and is all original except for the replaced crystal. It’s running extremely well and comes on an aftermarket mesh strap. It’s 41mm in diameter (wears a little smaller due to the cushion-style case) and has 20MM lugs. It comes on a Black single-pass strap from Crown & Buckle. I’m looking for *$499* shipped within CONUS, Zelle is preferred for payment. Please let me know if you have any questions!

	Established:	1881
	Website:	http://seikousa.com/index.php
	Country of Origin:	Japan

The company was founded in 1881, when Kintarō Hattori opened a watch and jewelry shop called "K. Hattori" (服部時計店 Hattori Tokeiten?) in the Ginza area of Tokyo, Japan. Eleven years later, in 1892, he began to produce clocks under the name Seikosha (精工舎 Seikōsha?), meaning roughly "House of Exquisite Workmanship". According to Seiko's official company history, titled "A Journey In Time: The Remarkable Story of Seiko" (2003), Seiko is a Japanese word meaning "exquisite" or "success" ("exquisite" is usually written 精巧 from Chinese jīngqiǎo, while the meaning "success" is usually written 成功 from Chinese chénggōng).

Seiko is perhaps best known for its wristwatches, all of which were at one time produced entirely in-house. This includes not only major items such as microgears, motors, hands, crystal oscillators, batteries, sensors, LCDs but also minor items such as the oils used in lubricating the watches and the luminous compounds used on the hands and the dials.
