This nickname derives from its black and gold color scheme, reminiscent of the livery on the Lotus Formula 1 cars sponsored by John Player Special tobacco during the 1970s. Introduced in the early 1970s, the 6138 series showcased Seiko's prowess in automatic chronograph technology, featuring the in-house Caliber 6138 movement with a column wheel and vertical clutch system. The 6138-8030's distinctive design and reliable performance have cemented its status as a sought-after vintage timepiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\" style=\"direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed; margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; vertical-align: middle;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003eReference Number:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003e 6138-8030\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; vertical-align: middle;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003eSerial Number:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003e 601XXX\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; vertical-align: middle;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003eYear of Manufacture:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003e October 1976\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; vertical-align: middle;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003eMovement:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003e Seiko Caliber 6138 automatic chronograph\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; vertical-align: middle;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003eCase:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003e Stainless steel\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; vertical-align: middle;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003e 42 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; vertical-align: middle;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003eDial:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003e Black with brown sub-dials\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; vertical-align: middle;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003e New aftermarket\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; vertical-align: middle;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003eBracelet:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003e Original Z077, full length (21 cm)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; vertical-align: middle;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003eBox and Papers:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003e Not included\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003eThis 1976 Seiko 6138-8030 \"John Player Special\" is in normal used condition.
