One of Seiko's most iconic timepieces is the "Pogue." This nickname came from the astronaut Colonel William R. Pogue who used an earlier gold dial variant of this reference for a NASA mission in 1973. We believe that both variants with blue and gold dial remain highly undervalued, even in today's market given their historical significance.

This example particular example is a rare "true Poge" with the identical ref. "6139-6005" and "RESIST" dial that Colonel Poge used on his mission making it the most desirable variant among collectors. It remains in fantastic vintage condition with a beautiful dial/hand set and unpolished case/bracelet. If you're looking for a robust vintage piece with plenty of wrist presence, don't overlook the "Pogue" for its fun pop of color and important place in the annals of horology.
