What Is On My Wrist: Seiko "Turtle" 6309-7040
Рет қаралды 19,461
Күн бұрынIn this episode of "What Is On My Wrist" Cam provides a brief history for the Seiko 6309-7040 and discusses why this specific example from 1979 is worthy of some wrist time and is part of Cam's personal collection!
This highly popular Seiko diver nicknamed the "turtle" is the third generation of dive watch produced by Seiko. The Sieko "Turtle" was produced from 1976-1988. The 7049 was produced for the North American market, while the 7040 was produced for the Japanese market and the rest of the world. Measuring 45mm wide, 48mm long and 13mm thick, with 22mm lugs, this is a large watch that wears very comfortably for its size.

Im actually on a smaller budget, so I search the good deals. I lucked out on my 6309-7040. Got it for $70. It is running well had it run through, and for almost $150 I have what now is fully restored watch my local repair shop says "is worth $500 or better" Im ok with it being a $150 watch. I as much in it as I do my invicta, and it is just a fun watch to wear. Im glad I got it for the price I did. Im pretty sure Id never own one if I had to spend $500 for it.

I have a 6309 7040. It was my Pop's. He got it new, I think in 1985. He didn't like the strap and tossed it. It just became mine lately. It had a weird strap on it that was too narrow. So, I looked for a makers mark. He had put a damn cheep Casio strap on it. I tossed that strap. I don't like the rubber straps either, so I purchased a black mate leather, alligator, water resistant strap. It looks really good, Thanks for the video my Timely Brother 👍 ⌚

Some people didn't like the style of Seiko turtle watches, not me, I find that it was a sport looking watch with excellent accurate, and the price is very affordable as well, a perfect jewelry for men.

The 6309/SRP777 always looked space age modern to me. The silver cushion case resembles something out of a 1950s Sci Fi movie. The design really is timeless.

My understanding is the first digit of the unique serial on the watch refers to the year it was made. Yours if I'm seeing correctly is a zero so that would make it 1980. The second digit I have been told refers to the month of manufacture. Hope this helps.

It wasn't a re-release of the Turtle but of the Captain Willard !
@craftandtailored 5 жыл бұрын
yes, you are correct! was discussing it as Seiko is leveraging a more classic interpretation of the "turtle" style of case and looking to its roots on the modern reissues! :)

Hey there. Love what you do. With Seiko prices creeping higher, do you think these or other vintage Seiko models will see a price hike as well?
@craftandtailored 5 жыл бұрын
Hey Ryan! I think some of the models will see an increase but I think it depends on the reference the diver models and some of the more iconic models will for sure. Vintage Grand Seiko is moving in pricing a lot and i have seen more dealers offering vintage grand Seiko then ever before!

Cam, do you sometimes think the 6309 seiko looks better in appearance than Rolex sub or no...I have both and at times the sandwich style case or the beefier appearance looks better...thanks
@craftandtailored 5 жыл бұрын
I like them both differently, I prefer my Seiko 6309-7040 on a bracelet whereas I prefer subs on natos or leather straps!
