In 1968, Seiko shook the market by introducing new, modern and fresh ranges. Beside the launching of the Lord Matic range, the Seiko 5 became funnier, with coloured dials, shaped cases. The calibres 61xx and 70xx became the new standards.
We have here 3 Seiko 5 6119, an early JDM 8220 from 1968, a more sporty/military french export 8083 model from 1972 and a late blue 855A from 1975. 1975 might be the last year of production of the 6119 calibre. Seiko abandoned then the 61xx movement range to focus only on the 63xx (6306, 6309) and 70xx one (Seiko 7009) for its Seiko 5.
