The original Olympic Torch version of the 6217-7000 was produced from March 1964 through November of the same year. In December, a Dolphin version was manufactured. Then in 1965 and 1966 no other 6217-7000's were produced. As 1967 came around, we oddly see new production examples of that original Olympic Torch model, across various months throughout the year.

It has been speculated that these 1967 versions were perhaps intended to be marketed and sold in celebration of the 1968 Olympic games to be held in Mexico City. However, we also know that the later 6117-601X model (3rd series) was produced in 1968 (the Olympics were held in Oct 1968), and in that model SEIKO replaced Chicago with Mexico City on the Bezel indicator for Central time. It seems more plausible that the 6117-601X was in fact the model made for the 1968 Olympic games.
