King Quartz Chrome Dial

Early Seiko quartz 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 Caliber 48 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 throws light from. The polished case and bracelet shine, as does the iridescent metallic dial and polished hands. The watch is in very good condition with some ware about the case. The dial is near perfect. The totalized metallic quality has a Ultraman feel to it.

This is certainly not a watch for the timid. It's wrist presence is notable. Practically speaking it does have a day and date function and a quartz movement which is very suitable for everyday use. This watch could be dressed up for a business casual environment or it could act as an accent piece alongside minimalist dress.

Inner dial retaining ring not included.
