This vintage Seiko Bell-Matic 4006-6010 is a wonderfully distinctive example of one of Seiko’s most innovative mechanical watches, featuring a rich blue sunburst dial with bold applied markers and contrasting orange accents. Powered by Seiko’s 17-jewel 4006 automatic movement, the Bell-Matic incorporates a fully mechanical alarm complication, set using the rotating inner alarm ring and operated via the additional pusher. The striking cushion-style stainless-steel case, internal rotating scale and bilingual day-date display give the watch unmistakable late-1960s/1970s character. An increasingly collectible piece of Seiko history, the Bell-Matic combines fantastic vintage styling with one of the most unusual complications Seiko ever produced in a mechanical wristwatch.
