Description
Overview: A striking and highly collectible vintage King Seiko VANAC Automatic (Ref. 5626-7150) produced in 1972. The VANAC line highlights Seiko’s bold, angular 1970s aesthetic paired with high-frequency mechanical precision.
Dial & Hands: Features a deep purple sunburst dial in very good original condition, completed with faceted applied hour markers, original hands, and cyan/white VANAC logo details.
Movement & Mechanical Upgrade: Powered by the hi-beat Seiko Caliber 5626. The notoriously fragile plastic day-date quickset gear has been professionally upgraded to a durable metal quickset wheel, guaranteeing smooth and lasting calendar functionality. The watch has been recently overhauled.
Crystal: The original faceted cut glass has been replaced with a clean, new flat crystal for high legibility.
Bracelet: Comes fitted on a period-correct, genuine Seiko stainless steel bracelet. All link split pins have been replaced with new ones, and additional spare links are included.
Condition Report
Overall Condition: Very Good / Recently Overhauled.
Movement: Fully functional and running smoothly. Timekeeping, hand-winding, hacking stop-second, and day-date quickset work properly.
Case & Back: Keeps its sharp, geometric case lines with minor age-consistent surface scratches and hairline swirls. Case back retains clear KS embossing and serial numbers.
Dial & Hands: Clean condition with vibrant color retention and minimal visible signs of aging.
Glass: New replacement crystal, free of scratches or blemishes.
Water Resistance: Being a vintage 1970s watch, water resistance is not guaranteed. Keep away from water and damp environments.
