I have a Seiko Ufo 6119-6400 on the way. Does anyone know what years these watches were made? I have tried looking on the Internet but have not had any luck.

What's the serial number ?

What's the serial number ?

I don't know, I haven't received the watch yet.

Have a look through the catalogues. I'd start with the early 1970s

Just a minor point but the UFO is the 6138-0011, not a 6119.

They were out in 1971 definitely, not sure if any earlier than that.

I kinda figured that it was made in the 1970s. Once I get the watch I'll know more for sure, I hope!

Write the seller and ask him what the serial number is!

Actually, This is a sport diver. They were made in both the 6106 and 6119 series. They were made from 69' through the mid 70's and come in four dial variations: black, yellow, brown, and orange.

Nah, the 6138-001x gets to be the Yachtsman. Doesn't need to be called a UFO.

Perfect spot on.

I may have to get the bracelet adjusted but otherwise it's excellent. On first look the watch looks heavier than it really is. I'm very happy with this purchase and will put it into regular wear rotation!

Just won this rare Seiko Crown watch on the bay. Cost me $130 plus $10 for shipping. In doing some research whilst counting down the bidding time left (and I had to keep an eye on that because there was a few last minute higher bids) I found out that these watches have a 560 movement. It appears to have been manufactured by the Seikosha branch of Seiko. Once I get the watch I'll try to do more research.
