Emerging from that golden era, this reference captures everything that made King Seiko a formidable force in mid-century horology. Its case is a study in Taro Tanaka’s “Grammar of Design”—sharp, architectural lines, mirror-polished planes, and angles that catch the light with an almost sculptural clarity. The proportions are beautifully judged: a clean silver sunburst dial framed by a purposeful bezel, paired with applied indices and razor-edged hands that give the watch a sense of quiet strength. It’s a design ethos that would later define Grand Seiko, and its influence is unmistakable here. Powering the watch is the revered Hi-Beat Caliber 5626A, part of the movement family that cemented Seiko’s technical credibility during the chronometer wars. Beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, it delivers a level of precision and responsiveness rare for its time, complete with hacking seconds and hand-winding—features that signaled Seiko’s commitment to functional excellence. This was a movement engineered not just to perform, but to endure. The stainless steel case, measuring approximately 37mm, remains crisp and well preserved, with the gold King Seiko medallion on the caseback standing as a proud signature from the era. It wears with that perfect vintage modernity—elegant, confident, and effortlessly versatile. This example remains in great condition for its age, showing little scratches fitting for its age and no dents. The dial is clean and crisp, the crystal is clear. It has been recently serviced and is keeping great time at +/-5s a day. The watch comes fitted on custom leather straps. Watch comes with standard watch box (no papers).
