1973 Seiko 5 Sports SpeedTimer Flyback Chronograph (Ref. 7015-6000)
Depending on who you ask, the original Seiko 5 Speed-Timer, which came out in 1969 and featured the famed cal. 6139 movement, was the first automatic chronograph ever brought to market. That's quite a legacy to uphold. And while this model from 1973 doesn't feature that famed movement, the cal. 7015 is no slouch either, with its super cool flyback function. Add to that an incredibly unique case shape and an almost peanut butter colored dial, and you've got a real winner on your hands.
