Brand: Seiko
Model: Crown
Reference Number: J14091
Serial Number: 2010689
Movement: Seikosha caliber 560 manual wind
Dial: Textured dial with applied gold-tone indices
Case Size: 36mm (excluding the crown)
Case Material: Gold-plated, gold-filled caseback
Production Year: 1962
Condition: Good vintage condition. Timegrapher: +10+14s/day, performing remarkably well.
Dial and Hands
The beautifully preserved dial features a fine concentric circular texture that plays with the light, complemented by applied gold-tone indices and crisp printing displaying the classic Seiko Crown script. Very minor dust and spotting are visible only under macro magnification. The watch retains its original gold-tone dauphine hands, which show light aging with minor oxidation and spotting visible under magnification.
Case and Crystal
The gold-plated case with a gold-filled caseback features elegant dress watch proportions. It exhibits honest wear consistent with age, presenting visible scratches and handling marks, alongside plating wear and tarnishing visible on the caseback mating edge. The lugs show some softening of their edges. A smooth gold-tone bezel frames the dial, displaying light scratches consistent with the rest of the case. The unsigned knurled crown shows some plating wear on its outer edges. A domed acrylic crystal protects the dial and remains clear with minimal visible surface wear.
Movement
Inside is the clean Seikosha caliber 560 manual wind movement, a 21-jewel mechanism featuring Seiko's Diashock shock protection system. The movement presents very well, with clean plates and bridges, clear SEIKOSHA, 21 JEWELS, and 560 engravings, and only minor superficial scratches. There is no visible corrosion or heavy oxidation. Exhibiting remarkable accuracy and consistency, performing brilliantly for a vintage timepiece. The timegrapher records a rate of +10+14s/day.
Strap
The watch is fitted with a black leather strap featuring contrast stitching. The strap shows light signs of wear and is secured by an unsigned clasp.
Condition
Good vintage condition. The beautifully preserved textured dial and original hands present wonderfully, showing only minor signs of aging under magnification. The gold-plated case displays honest wear consistent with age, including visible scratches, handling marks, and plating wear on the caseback mating edge and crown. The crystal is clear with minimal surface wear. The manual wind movement is notably clean and, supported by the recorded timegrapher result, is performing very strongly.
Dimensions
The case measures 36mm (excluding the crown).
Remarks
This Seiko Crown offers an excellent opportunity to acquire a classic mid-century dress watch with compelling visual details. The fine concentric circular dial texture and the clean Seikosha caliber 560 movement make this a highly appealing mechanical timepiece.
History
The Seiko Crown model line was produced between 1959 and 1969 and holds an important place in the brand's mechanical development. Notably, the Seiko Crown served as the mechanical foundation for the first Grand Seiko. Powered by the hand-wound Seikosha caliber 560 featuring the Diashock protection system, the reference J14091 represents the refined design language and technical progression of Seiko's dress watches during the early 1960s.
