Vintage Feb 1967 Seiko 6(contact info removed) MACV SOG Watch W/Waltham Compass Serviced 2026

Up for sale is a legendary, highly collectible 1967 Seiko 6(contact info removed) Automatic "Sportsmatic", widely revered by collectors as the "grandfather" of the Vietnam War-era MACV-SOG military-issued timepieces. This historic watch remains in exceptional, entirely unpolished condition, preserving its sharp original case contours and honest vintage character. It features the rare, highly legible charcoal gray sunburst dial with full Arabic numerals, crisp printing, and a beautifully aged matching patina across the hands and markers. Complete with a fresh mechanical overhaul, the watch was fully serviced in January 2026 and functions flawlessly, including the signature push-in crown quickset day/date mechanism. Adding immense value and historical significance to this kit is an authentic, period-correct Vietnam War-era brass wrist compass manufactured by the Waltham Clock Company (marked W.C. CO.). This fully functional compass is mounted on a rugged NATO nylon pull-through strap—reproducing the exact setup famously favored by Special Forces operatives for stealth, deniability, and low-light operations deep "across the fence". As an incredible bonus for maximum versatility, the watch also comes with a Seiko stainless steel multi-link bracelet. Finding an all-original, unpolished 6(contact info removed) package with an authentic Waltham companion compass and documented fresh service is an exceedingly rare opportunity for any military watch enthusiast or serious horological collector.
