Hello,

I am selling my Seiko King Twin Quartz from June 1981:

Sober and dressy watch, typical of the 70’s.
Model reserved for the Japanese market (JDM - Japan Domestic Market).
Pretty textured fiberglass dial, with applied indexes and logos, for a perfect vintage look.

It can be seen in volume 2 of the 1981 Seiko catalog (page 39):

An advertisement from 1980, with Twin Quartz models:

The symbol positioned at 6 o'clock on the dial (and also engraved on the crown) indicates that the watch is equipped with a twin quartz movement, with two crystals.
This movement was reserved for the high-end of the brand: Superior, Grand Quartz and King Quartz, from the very end of the 70's.

Rare model on the second-hand market, especially with this dial!

	Established:	1881
	Website:	http://seikousa.com/index.php
	Country of Origin:	Japan

The company was founded in 1881, when Kintarō Hattori opened a watch and jewelry shop called "K. Hattori" (服部時計店 Hattori Tokeiten?) in the Ginza area of Tokyo, Japan. Eleven years later, in 1892, he began to produce clocks under the name Seikosha (精工舎 Seikōsha?), meaning roughly "House of Exquisite Workmanship". According to Seiko's official company history, titled "A Journey In Time: The Remarkable Story of Seiko" (2003), Seiko is a Japanese word meaning "exquisite" or "success" ("exquisite" is usually written 精巧 from Chinese jīngqiǎo, while the meaning "success" is usually written 成功 from Chinese chénggōng).

Seiko is perhaps best known for its wristwatches, all of which were at one time produced entirely in-house. This includes not only major items such as microgears, motors, hands, crystal oscillators, batteries, sensors, LCDs but also minor items such as the oils used in lubricating the watches and the luminous compounds used on the hands and the dials.
