A sleek and refined advancement of the earlier 6139-6010 variants, the 6015 is an absolute masterpiece of an automatic chronograph. It was available in several color ways, but the this one in metallic blue is a true standout. With its timeless case architecture, low profile bezel, and 39mm stature, it means business, and owns casual. This example from  September of ‘71 is amazing. The unpolished case is classic Seiko with opposing half moon lugs that appear to be joined only by the wide, beveled bezel. The chronograph pushers only slightly protrude, and the crown sits nearly flush at the three o’clock position providing a clean and tight overall build. The dial is absolutely perfect. It’s finished in a metallic blue sunburst with long and lean luminous markers and an applied day/date frame. The hour and minute hands are easily legible in polished steel, and the chronograph hands bring a touch of color in bright red. This one’s completely original aside from a replacement crystal, and we’ve paired it with a light brown distressed leather for a clean and balanced finish. If you’re looking for one watch to cover every occasion, this one will be hard to beat.
