SEIKO 69's 45KING SEIKO / Cal.4502A

Introducing the Seiko " 45 King Seiko" made in 1969 .

Seiko was founded in 1877 when its founder, Kintaro Hattori, established the Hattori Watch Repair Shop. Initially, he sold and repaired used watches and worked as a repairman at other watch shops, striving to improve his skills. Four years later, in 1881 , he founded the Hattori Watch Shop.

Initially, the company sold and repaired imported watches, but in 1892 , in order to utilize the skills it had cultivated up until then, it established a watch manufacturing division called Seikosha.

Seiko began by manufacturing wall clocks and went on to successfully develop the first domestically produced pocket watches and wristwatches, building the foundations of Japan's watch industry.

It is a brand that continues to attract attention from all over the world.

The 45 series movement installed in the " 45 King Seiko" introduced this time was developed as King Seiko's first hand-wound high-beat specification.
This is a masterpiece movement that achieved the remarkable feat of being the first Japanese-made wristwatch to pass the Japan Chronometer Association inspection.

The dial is a silver sunburst dial with an impressive sharp luster.
The speckled spots that appear during aging give the dial a three-dimensional look, evolving it into a more refined expression.

Furthermore, the area around the KS logo at the 6 o'clock position is particularly faded beige in color, which naturally gives the watch a unique feel, as if it is proud of the KS logo and the fact that it is a high-beat model.

The hands and indexes are dolphin hands with black centers and upright bar indexes.
The date is placed at the 3 o'clock position, making this a date model with excellent visibility and practicality.

The distinctive case design adopts the "Seiko Style", which combines Seiko's advanced cutting and flat polishing technologies.
It features a distortion-free glossy surface and sharp edges, and has an attractive, 70s -like stylishness.

With its sharp luster, the 45 King Seiko has a presence that sets it apart from other Japanese-made watches.
This is one of the masterpieces in Seiko's watch history, which will remind the wearer of the joy of wearing a watch.

The movement is equipped with a 25- jewel hand-wound movement, Cal. 4502A .

The high-beat movement boasts high precision due to its excellent isochronism.

In addition to its precision, this is a renowned movement that Seiko is proud of, created with practical aspects in mind, such as durability that can withstand daily use, stable operation, and ease of maintenance.

All watches sold in our store are internally inspected by a professional watch mechanic upon arrival and are only sold after being determined to be genuine, so you can use them with confidence.

When you purchase a watch, we will attach a new leather strap to it when you deliver it to you.
Please select the color you want from the order selection tab and place your order.
*For products that come with original watch straps or metal bands, the leather strap will not be attached and will be sent separately as a spare.
A special case for the watch will also be included with the shipment.

Please be sure to read the following information after purchasing an antique watch.

When selling antique watches at RESUME, we do not immediately hand them over to you when you place your order. Instead, we ask a professional craftsman to overhaul them (hereafter referred to as OH) and deliver them to you after the OH is completed. (This takes about 1 to 2 months.)

A professional craftsman with first-class watch repair technician qualifications will completely disassemble your watch, replace worn parts such as the internal gaskets, clean it, oil it, and perform a thorough overhaul, maintaining it to a daily accuracy of about ±1 minute.
When we deliver the machine, we will also send you our own overhaul certificate, which shows what kind of overhaul was performed, as well as photos of the machine being disassembled and maintained.

Of course, due to the nature of the product itself being a second-hand item, there is no guarantee that it will never break, but we ask for your understanding that we take this approach so that you can enjoy the original performance of the watch and use it with peace of mind in the future.

When you purchase a product, we offer a one-year warranty depending on the model. Even if the warranty period has expired, we will still repair the product for a fee. If there is no repair shop near you, please feel free to contact us.
