Description:
A true icon of space exploration, the Seiko "Pogue" was the first automatic chronograph used in orbit, favored by NASA astronaut Col. William Pogue for its reliability. This reference 6139-6002 features the vibrant "honey" sunray dial and the innovative vertical clutch movement that predated many Swiss counterparts. A foundational piece for any chronograph collection, blending 1970s avant-garde design with genuine space-faring heritage.
