Seiko Pogue Reissue

With all the market craze on vintage reissue, do you foresee that Seiko will do the Pogue chronograph reissue in the very near term?

I want to add that in my collection after the 62mas reissue and the Snowflake 211.

2019 is the 50th anniversary of the 6139, so I would be shocked if we don't see it.

For me, the question is single sub-dial with 30 minute counter like the original 6139 (which Seiko currently doesn't have a caliber for), or traditional 3 register like the current in-house awesome 8r48? I'd like to see them go the 8r48 route, but I'm sure some if not most 6139 fans will be pissed if they do.

...and I put the USD retail over $5.75k - so it'll be an expensive Seiko all be it great value.

Thanks folks for chiming in. I’ll be seriously following Basel 2019 if indeed a Pogue reissue will be made by Seiko.

Well you might be disappointed. Seiko doesn't always release watches for Basel. It is usually after Basel when they start releasing watches.

They weren't back then. Just recently in the last few years they have gotten big. Unfortunately to rebuild a movement on them will cost quite a bit, almost what it sells for.

Doesn’t cost that much. I do them for people all over the world now (and 6138’s) as there’s not ‘that’ many people that will service them.


Regards the reissue. I hope not! I can just imagine it... bigger case, dial with printed Seiko logo, horrible smooth modern hour markers, rounded crystal and $3000

The parts are part of the cost. And parts for a 6138/6139 is not cheap.
