I did not get NASA approval to carry the Seiko watch on the mission but we weren't given the Omegas until late in our training. I had been using the Seiko for well over six months and found it very handy for timing engine burns in the simulator, using the bezel as reported earlier. Hence, I did not make any attempt to get official permission or approval to carry the Seiko on the mission."
Statement ini merubah anggapan awal bahwa jam Sinn 142 adalah jam automatic chronograph pertama yang digunakan dalam misi ke ruang angkasa. Dan Seiko sudah membuktikan bahwa merekalah yang sebenarnya pertama kali teruji kehandalannya untuk mengarungi angkasa dari bulan Nov.73 sampai dengan Feb.1974 meskipun hal itu bukan jam resmi misi tersebut.

Hello, my name is Carlos and I have a Seiko 6139 6002 with the same configuration of the watch in the first photo, with gold dial and black inner bezel. I have founded some similar watches but I don't know if that configuration is original or no. I suppose that this is your watch, Do you Know if that watch is original or doing for parts? If you don't Know it, Could you tell me the year of fabrication (serial number) and the model type (600x)?
Thank you in advance
Best regards from Spain and sorry for my English
