Seiko – King Seiko 1st Generation (First Model) – Ref. J14102-KS – 14K Gold Filled – Manual Wind 25 Jewels – Serviced – Rare “S” Crown – 1960s ⸻ This is the first-generation King Seiko—the model line that marked Seiko’s serious push into domestic, high-grade watchmaking in the early 1960s. Seiko’s own historical timeline notes King Seiko debuted in 1961, positioned as a high-end offering with strong performance and design, and it quickly became a hit in Japan.  Collectors love the J14102 because it represents the starting point of the King Seiko story, produced in the early 1960s and widely recognized as a true “foundation” reference for the KS line.
