Seiko 5 Actus with its Seiko’s favorite automatic movement, the 6106C was introduced in 1969-1977 as revised from the 1967 6106A movement.
6106 movement comes with 25 Jewels but the 6106C has the Diafix installations and the 6106C variant introduced a quickset mechanism to allow the day and date to be changed by pushing in the crown. And is the only caliber to support a bilingual day wheel.
An “SS” logo found in some 5 Actus models means the short form of Second Setting, a movement feature that allows the second hand to stop ticking once the crown is pulled out.
Presented here is the Seiko 5 Actus SS 6106-8670, dating back to approximately 1974. It features a simple yet exquisite silver sunburst dial and remains entirely in its original condition, complete with the bracelet and extension buckle. Notably, the watch case exhibits a distinctive sharp edge on its rear side, reflecting the design principles that defined Seiko's era, Seiko's grammar of design.
A straightforward and elegant timepiece, a valuable addition to the collections of those seeking a vintage JDM Seiko watch.
