Seiko Calendar, 7006-6039


Age: June, 1973

Dimensions: 40mm wide, 18mm lug

Features: Day, Date, Month at-a-glance calendar on rotating inner-bezel

Notes: I picked this up on a flier on eBay, and was pleasantly surprised. The case was in fantastic shape, as was the crystal and brilliant blue dial. The inner-bezel was very crisp and turned nicely. The only thing wrong with it was that it was oddly missing the day wheel. I ended up selling it to fund another purchase. There is virtually identical Seiko 5 model, the 7019-6070, and I'm not sure why Seiko would make the two -- perhaps they were meant for different markets.
