Seiko Chronograph “Bruce Lee” 6139-6012

The consensus among enthusiasts is that Bruce Lee consistently wore the Seiko 6139-6010 with a black dial in the last years of his life. This particular watch is prominently featured in numerous photos as the sole timepiece on his wrist. Adorned with a non-original rally style bracelet, it is believed that he began wearing this distinctive watch in the mid to late months of 1969. This association has led to the colloquial naming of this timepiece as the “Bruce Lee” watch.

The Seiko 6139 series is known for being the first automatic chronograph movement produced by Seiko, introduced in 1969. These watches are often referred to as the “Pogue” after Colonel William Pogue, an astronaut who wore a Seiko 6139 during the Skylab mission in the 1970s. The 6139 series has gained popularity among collectors for its historical significance and distinctive designs.
