1964 Seiko Champion Ref. 86898

I absolutely love it. It makes me think if a watch can look this good and function this well at this age, so should be able to as well. I’ll call this my inspiration! 37mm and wears like a champ.

Thanks Adam so much for having such a keen eye and for letting me now be responsible for it!

I’ll try to keep it out of trouble and will never wear it going for second place, it is a Champion after all!

It sure is. It'll be cool to wear this one (or '64 your Seikomatic) watching the Tokyo 2020 Olympics next year

Definitely will have to! I’ll pull out the postcards from the ‘64 Olympics as well! Thanks for the idea!
