Authentic, serviced vintage Seiko in very good vintage condition with 3-month functionality guarantee. Model History: The King Seiko Ref. 5626-7000 represents one of the earliest executions of Seiko’s high-beat automatic platform from Daini Seikosha, introduced in the late 1960s. As part of the King Seiko line, it was developed to compete directly with Grand Seiko, showcasing Daini’s technical and design capabilities at the time. Powered by the calibre 5626, this model operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and features both hacking seconds and quickset day-date functionality, advanced specifications for its era. Early examples such as this one are distinguished by their more classical case proportions and refined dial layout, with applied faceted indices and clean baton hands. The combination of a silvery white sunburst dial and the iconic gold KS medallion on the caseback reflects the understated yet precise design philosophy that defined King Seiko during this period.
