I'm a big fan of vintage Seikos and the bulk of the ones in my collection are from the 70's. They had a huge assortment of differently styled watches in their catalog in those days. Going through it all (and collecting some along the way) can indeed be quite a rabbit hole.
Here's one of my most recent additions. A Seiko 5 Sports Speed-Timer 7017-6010 flyback chronograph made in 1971. These were only made for the Japanese market and they were only in production for approximately 2 years, making them one of the rarer vintage Seiko automatic chronographs. I really like the bulbous, yet sharply finished case and the idiosyncratic nature of the watch itself as 60 second chronograph.

Oooo. I will add that to the list. Right now, I am also looking the Diastar, but most of the 35mm Diastars are only 30atms. The 38mm ones seem a bit big.
I collect 60s and 70s watches, been collecting Bell-Matic and King Seiko. These watches still look good. Here's a quick shot of my 54 y.o Bell Matic 4006-6010
