This vintage Seiko 6309-7049 “Turtle” is an iconic automatic dive watch known for its robust movement and distinctive cushion case. The 44 mm stainless steel case wears comfortably on the wrist, paired here with a new black rubber strap. The automatic 6309 movement was serviced in Fall 2025 and is currently running. The black dial and hands display natural aging and patina to the luminous material, consistent with decades of use. Please note that while this model was originally designed with a unidirectional bezel, the bezel on this example rotates bi-directionally and the pearl-colored lume insert at the 12 o’clock position is missing. Day and date are quick-set via the crown. Buyer should refer to photographs for condition. Wear consistent with age. Water resistance is manufacturer-listed but not tested and is not guaranteed.
