Serviced chronometer-grade Hi-Beat movement, new crystal and strap. Guaranteed authentic vintage Seiko in excellent condition. Model History: The King Seiko Chronometer series holds a special place in Seiko’s history as one of the few Japanese watches to carry the designation “Chronometer Officially Certified.” Produced in the early 1970s, these models were tested to strict accuracy standards comparable to their Swiss contemporaries. The reference 5626-7041, fitted with the Hi-Beat caliber 5626, combines hand-winding, hacking seconds, and a quickset day/date function. Its restrained yet elegant design with sharp case lines represents the pinnacle of Seiko’s mechanical watchmaking era before quartz dominance took hold.
