Vintage Seiko Poque 6139-6002

It was 16 November 1973, the first American Skylab was launched into orbit. It was the longest man-in-space program at that time, that the mission was only concluded in 8 February 1974. Colonel William R. Poque was in the mission till the end. 
What watch he was wearing? Besides the standard NASA issue Omega Speedmaster, he brought his favourite watch also which was a Seiko Chronograph 6139-6002.
Now, this watch has become 1 of the most sought after by collectors around the world.














These are the old 1970's Seiko Chrono watch ads found on the internet.
