Seiko King Quartz

Early Seiko quarts watches of the 1970s, were without question, at the high end of the market. With exceptional accuracy, build quality and finishing King Quartz were some of the best of their time. The 48xx series movements have a metal mainplate and jeweled train of wheels. There is even a jeweled seconds jumper that ensures the seconds hand lands squarely on it’s marker. On wrist the watch feels substantial, certainly on par with any mechanical watch. This particular example is in excellent condition, runs as it did when new and comes on the original KQ signed, comb link bracelet. The case is free of large dings and is lightly polished, consistent to its original high gloss finish however retains sharp edges. The hooded lug design is sporty and give the watch a streamlined look. The vertically brushed dial has a blue metallic finish and the stick hands are near perfect condition.

This piece would be an excellent daily wearer, to the office or even dressed up. It wouldn’t seem out of place poolside, or on vacation either.

Inner dial retaining ring not included. Will include on request if available. Why?
