In 1969, Seiko released the world’s first automatic chronograph equipped with both vertical clutch and column wheel, known as the Seiko Speedtimer. One piece from the first 6139 Speedtimer series rose to stardom as the first automatic chronograph to travel in space: in the 70s, NASA astronaut Colonel William Pogue took the original chronograph on a mission to Skylab – the first US space station. The watch became nicknamed the ‘Pogue’ after its star explorer wearer. Distance between lugs: 21mm Bracelet Length: 197.0mm Thickness: 13.0mm Diameter: 41.4mm Lug-to-lug: 45.9mm
