Seiko 6159-7010
Details
Seiko titanium professional diver from 1975. This is the first version with 600 only (without the “m” following the depth) It was the world’s strongest diving watch in the 1970’s along with the Omega Ploprof, both sharing the same 600m depth rating but both being able to go much deeper, probably past 1 000m, without a helium escape valve.
The “Grandfather Tuna” was the successor of the 6159-7001, which production stopped in 1969, only one year after the release of the 6159-7000 (1968), due to negative feedbacks from professional divers.
