Seiko 6138-8039 “John Player Special” Watch
The Seiko 6138 is a model that’s mentioned a lot in watch collecting circles, and for very good reason. http://www.replicawatchguide.co/ While it’s not Seiko’s first automatic chrono (the 6139 takes that honor being released one year earlier in 1969), it is their first two-register model, featuring 30-minute and 12-hour sub-dials.
The “John Player Special” is one of the later models to come around in the 6138 line, with most serial numbers pointing to mid-1976 or later. Like many models in the 6138 range, it’s at least partially designed with racing in mind, with clear markers and a tachymeter ring.Seiko marketed their chronograph line at the time with heavy use of motorsports images, albeit most of these were stock photos of the Ferrari endurance racing program.
Fittipaldi and the John Player 72D ran away with the season, recording 8 podiums and five wins en route to the title. The stage was set for the black-and-gold John Player Specials to race their way into the ranks of the legends, and they did.
