Hi,
I dusted this one off this afternoon and took a few pictures. I particularly like its classic 60's Seiko dial and hands. It's not an automatic, just a hand wind, and it doesn't have a date quick set feature either. On the other hand it is a relatively thin watch.
The case back has the Seahorse logo:

And the movement seems to be in pretty good shape after 44 years:

I believe Martin knows this watch quite well, according to one of his posts it was one of his first vintage Seiko's. ;) And here is one of his posts about the Skyliner line of Seiko's: [url=http://larrybiggs.net/scwf/index.php?mod=103&action=1&id=1190050520]http://larrybiggs.net/scwf/index.php?mod=103&action=1&id=1190050520[/url]
Edit: I put pictures of both the 6222A and 5740 movements side by side as they seem vaguely similar.
