For Sale - Mid-1971 Seiko Bell Matic 4006-6011 Automatic Alarm Watch, w/Leather Strap
DC Vintage Watches presents for bidding a beautiful vintage mid-1971 Seiko 4006-6011 Bell-Matic automatic alarm watch, presented on a handmade leather strap, which keeps accurate time for a vintage watch. In 1966, Seiko introduced their most expensive addition to their already diverse line watch line, the Bell-Matic, more expensive than Seiko's previous models due to a newly-implemented complication - the novel and unique added mechanical alarm. Please see this YouTube video of a similar Seiko 4006 Bell-Matic, complete with an example of the alarm sounding!
The Seiko Bell-Matic was produced from late 1966 to 1978. They were made using "4006" automatic movements with 17, 21 or 27 jewels and while most featured the day and date there were a few models that featured the date only. These were identified as a "4005" movement and were only manufactured before 1970. The most outstanding feature on these watches is the mechanical hand-wind alarm. The alarm is wound and set using the crown and engaged using the alarm button. In addition to these functions the crown also serves to set the time and the alarm button can quick-set the date...
