In concentric rings of soft silver, the minute register provides perfect contrast, while also neatly pairing the dial with the glossy black and silver tachymetric chapter. It’s finished in a textured matte black with long and lean luminous markers and a PVD day/date frame. The chronograph pushers only slightly protrude, and the crown sits nearly flush at the three o’clock position providing a clean and tight overall build. The crisp and unpolished case is classic Seiko with opposing half moon lugs that appear to be joined only by the wide, polished bezel. This example from June of ‘72 is amazing. With its timeless case architecture, low profile bezel, and 39mm stature, this black and white beauty means business, and owns casual. It was available in several color ways, but for us, this version is easily the front runner. A sleek and refined advancement of the earlier 6139-6010 variants, the 6012 is an absolute masterpiece of an automatic chronograph. ![]()
