Seiko 6139 Wristwatch Repair

Repair Service of a “Colonel Pogue” Seiko Chronograph Wristwatch

This vintage Seiko Pogue 6139 Automatic Chronograph Wristwatch was overhauled, cleaned and lubricated. The movement was disassembled and cleaned. Reassembled and lubricated. Repaired chronograph register. The balance was adjusted and regulated. Hand cleaned case. Repaired internal rotating bezel. Placed on extended testing. Watch Repair Complete.

The Seiko 6139 Automatic Chronograph with Day/Date function was so named the “Pogue” after NASA Astronaut Colonel William Pogue. in 1973 Colonel Pogue was leading the first space station the Sky Lab 4 that was performing various tests in preparation of the Space Shuttle Missions that were to follow later. Colonel Pogue took with him his Seiko 6139 that he bought in the PX at Ellington Airforce Base and used it in training because he was not issued his official Omega Speedmaster yet. He used the Seiko to time various things like engine burns and so on. In 2008 someone discovered after looking at pictures of the Sky Lab 4 Mission that the Seiko was used. The watch was then credited to be the first Automatic Chronograph watch used in space. This made the watch very famous and is sought after by collectors to this day.
