Weatherproof: Seiko 6300-8009
I wanted to show the interesting case shape of this vintage Seiko – the snow-turning-to-rain effect over the watch is an added bonus.
It’s a Seiko 6300-8009 from August 1977. I had my watchman make it as water resistant as he could, although I wouldn’t go swimming in it as we kept the original crown in place.
While I love the case shape, which Seiko used on their high end King Seiko line at the time, the crown is a little on the small side for me. It’s not the easiest one to wind.
Nevertheless, she’s a fantastic timekeeper – gaining two seconds in 12 hours on the wrist or when left crown up. No complaints there!
