Seiko Pilots' Watch
This may not be so rare but I've never seen another one on anyone I've met even in Japan.
I don't remember where I got it but it was in Japan because ANA is All-Nippon Airways, now probably No.1 Japanese airline after Japan Airlines went bust and was "rescued" by the government in 2009.
It must have been in-flight because it has ANA logo and proudly states on the caseback: "Designed with ANA pilots".

OBSCURE SEIKO OF THE DAY Thread 1 - please join in
Hello Seiko Fans, I would like to invite you to join me in a week-long campaign to get our old, forgotten Seikos out of the watch closet and onto our wrists. Just a picture and a paragraph of praise from each Seiko lover would give us momentum, and keep o...
I'll bet no one else . . .
. . . has a Seiko Sea Lion. Circa '65; Dad was going to chuck it after it stopped running, but gave it to me instead. After having it repaired, he asked how much I'd spent on the project, and when told, he exploded. "That's ten times more than the it cost...
Any time I look in the corners of the watch cabinet, I find dead ones
My battery consumption rate is pretty high. I might have to get a bulk toxic disposal permit for all the watch batteries! Cazalea ...
SEIKO Lord Matic 5606
This is not the most beautiful or expensive SEIKO, but this is one of the most valuable, priceless SEIKO in my collection nonetheless. One of my father's "better" shape watches I found after he passed away. I had it serviced, glass replaced, repaired, pol...
This SQ50 was a gift 20yrs ago from my then girlfriend ...
and now my wife :)). It's mostly sitting because I have move to higher end watches. Recently my son's watch bug just grew and he likes it so I changed the strap and battery for him. Now it's his favorite. Thanks for the thread! Rgds Raymond ...

That's got lots of classic styling cues all in one
two different color hands like some divers Big S on the second hand like B on the Brightz second hands Knurled crown as on the Samurai watches Strong font with lots of lume for the hours Ribbed bezel Very very interesting. Cheers, Mike PS - found this on ...
Not obscure, but
Hi While it's not obscure- a Bellmatic is one of Seiko's more known models - it is definitely old! Here's a quick wrist shot of mine Cheers JML ...
Nice golden glow off that dial
i had a nice blue Bellmatic that has disappeared, and I have two that don't run. Yours looks great. Do you use its alarm? Cheers, Mike
Intermitently
Hi Its running and I wear it quite regularly. The alarm is a bit subdued - I'm not sure if thats normal or if its due for a service. Though to be honest a Service probably would do any harm, even if I don't wear it too regularly. Love the dial its very mu...
I am, and I found someone to do it, but haven't pulled the trigger
Here they are. I think I could get one good one out of the two - although Mr Black has 27 jewels and Mr White has only 17 I'm told most things interchange. ...
My Blue Planet
My Blue Planet World Time Limited Edition from around 1999/2000. I first saw this watch in a magazine around year 2000. Loved the picture of it so much I tear the page out and it sort of became my dream watch. That was before any knowledge or interests in...
Is this the watch you mean?
Thanks for stepping into the conversation. Is this your watch? Photos from y.shiota on PuristS in 2008 Cheers, Cazalea ...
Pictures
Hi Cazalea, apologies here are the pictures. Problems with uploading earlier. ...
Nice styling. I haven't seen this watch before
It's a traditional Seiko look but cleaner and more refined. No chronograph, somewhat eccentric location of the countries on the outside of the bezel, and funky lugs. Very cool. Thanks for coming onboard to show us this watch. Do you have other Seikos? Mik...
My other Seiko
Thanks Cazalea. Here is my other Seiko. I wear this during summer or when I am on the road or when needing to do a bit of manual labour. It runs at about -8 seconds/day. ...
