SEIKO 69's / 56 KING SEIKO SUPERIOR CHRONOMETER

Seiko "56 made in 1969 Introducing the King Seiko Superior Chronometer.

"King Seiko" (hereinafter referred to as KS ) was released by Daini Seikosha (Kameido Factory) in 1961 based on the philosophy of "creating a Japanese-made watch with precision that rivals Swiss watches."

The year before, Suwa Seikosha had released the "Grand Seiko" (hereafter referred to as GS ). While GS aimed to be the " best wristwatch, " KS was a model that maintained high precision while achieving a more reasonable price by simplifying some of the design and specifications.

For this reason, it is sometimes considered a "cheap version" compared to the GS , but the movement it is equipped with is smaller yet boasts the same level of precision as the GS .

King Seiko is considered to be the pinnacle of Seiko's lineup alongside Grand Seiko.
Its capabilities and presence make it worthy of being called a masterpiece representing Japan.

The Seiko " 56 King Seiko Chronometer Superior" that we are introducing this time has the word " CHRONOMETER " printed at the 12 o'clock position on the dial, as well as the word " SUPERIOR ," which denotes luxury and high quality.
This model marked "Superior" is an extremely rare specification, with only a very small number produced in the very early stages, and it holds a special position within the series.

The dial features a deep black mirror dial.
It has a beautiful texture that literally emits a lustrous light like a mirror.

The index uses a thin, sharp bar index.
By giving it a slight three-dimensional feel, it combines visibility with a sense of luxury.

The distinctive case features a design that combines sharp, multi-faceted cuts with careful chamfering, based on the aesthetic sense advocated by Seiko, known as the "Seiko Style."

The sharp case lines tighten the profile, and the polished finish, which reflects even the slightest light as sharply as a Japanese sword, accentuates the watch's dignified appearance.

This is a highly refined vintage model that blends naturally into modern business styles.

The movement is an automatic model.

It is officially certified as a chronometer, so you can be sure of its precision.
It is equipped with a calendar function, and you can fast-forward the date by operating the crown.
Furthermore, it is equipped with a hacking function, making it a very practical movement.

Size: height: 41.5mm , width: 37.7mm , thickness: 10.2mm , weight: 46g .

The medallion on the back cover is also without any chips.

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

When selling antique watches at RESUME, we do not immediately hand over the watch to you upon receiving your order. Instead, we ask a professional craftsman to overhaul it (hereinafter referred to as OH) and deliver it 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 properly repair the product, but there will be a fee. If there is no repair shop near you, please feel free to contact us.
