1971 Seiko Automatic World Time (Ref. 6117-6400)
The Seiko World Time debuted in 1964 as a commemoration of the Tokyo Summer Olympics. It's a beautiful watch, indeed, but also an incredible tool watch with an interior bezel that features an eclectic array of a whopping 26 cities from around the globe, allowing the wearer to track two time zones simultaneously and guaranteed to charm anyone with a passion for international travel.
The ref. 6117-6400 is a later iteration of the World Time, and one of the most refined models as a result.
