These early gen no-date Zodiac SeaWolfs are really becoming scarce. Most of the ones you find on eBay these days are either the date model, or the later ones with the acrylic bezel insert. Now, both of those are fine watches, but to me, no date is the best date, and you can see by the beautiful symmetry of the dial why I say that. These came in both black and white dials, and of course this is the white dial version. It’s in really nice shape, with beautiful lume on the 12, 3, 6, 9 triangle indices and those big ol’ arrow hands. The case looks unpolished, and the watch has its original signed crown as it should. The chrome plated bezel is in decent condition, but showing some wear on the edge from use. Seller states it runs, but the bezel is missing the little spring wire that keeps it firm. So, do keep in mind that the bezel needs some attention, but that said these are such a rare find in good looking condition that I had to share it with our readers.

Seiko 6139-6019 Chronograph
Next up is one of Seiko’s more beautiful chronographs, the 6139-6019. Nice large steel case with original brushed finish with sharp edges and broad flat bezel, and that deep blue dial…wow! Classic Seiko dial layout with the 30 min register at 6 o’clock and the day/date window at 3 o’clock. This watch features the same movement used in the more famous “Pogue” models (6139-600X, etc), which is a wonderfully robust and reliable chronograph movement. This should come on a Seiko bracelet, but as the vintage bracelets were all folded steel, it’s quite common to find them missing. However, this gem will look great on any strap or repro bracelet you desire. Great vintage Seiko chronograph that should go for much less than its more famous Pogue relatives.

Military Issued CWC Royal Navy Diver
Last up, a killer vintage (yes, 1999 is vintage!) CWC military issued diver. This 1999 Royal Navy Diver model 0555/6645-99 was issued by the British Ministry of Defense to their Navy, and you can see by the caseback markings this one is legit. The watch has seen some use, as it should being an issued diver, but does not appear abused. There is some wear to the case and bezel, but overall the watch looks great. Seller states it comes with the correct Phoenix NATO strap, which is a nice touch. The watch is powered by a quartz movement and runs per the seller. Great grab and go diver that has a storied history!
