1970 Seiko Automatic Chronograph (Ref. 6139-6011) "Bruce Lee"

While the title of "First Automatic Chronograph" is a heavily disputed claim (multiple watch companies somewhat simultaneously debuted what they claimed as "the first" automatic chronograph in 1969), there are many who believe Seiko are the rightful owners of that title with their cal. 6139 movement. It has a 30-minute register at the 6 o'clock subdial, with start/stop and reset pushers.

It's the heartbeat of the legendary cal. 6139 chronographs – and it beats within this great piece as well, housed in a fantastic cushion-shaped case with a bright blue dial. And as if the watch wasn't cool enough already, it was the personal choice of a certain Bruce Lee at the height of his fame. If it's good enough for Bruce, it's gotta be good enough for us.
