Introduced in 1968, the 6117-8000 Navigator Timer was Seiko’s second foray into the world of GMT watches and far more sporty and palatable than Seiko’s first GMT, the World Time 6217. The new Land Mechanical GMT has many of the design cues that have endeared Seiko fans to the brand, including a slim cushion case, 4 o’clock crown, sumptuous dial, and a clean, stripped-down aesthetic. In other words, this was an obvious choice of watch for Seiko to resurrect and with its new 6R54 GMT movement, the time was ripe. Our friends at Russell Jewellers in Richmond, BC were kind enough to loan us one for review to see how it stacks up when on the wrist.
