Here is a fabulous, all original early 2^nd King Seiko from 1963. The silver sunburst dial is in very fine condition, with a golden Seiko logo and faceted golden bar hour markers, double at 12 o’clock. There is a scatter of tiny marks on and around the 5 o’clock hour marker in particular. The faceted dauphine hands are in very fine condition. The hack stops the seconds hand when the crown is pulled out to set the time.

The gold filled bezel is in fine condition with some wear throughout. The gold filled case with the original KS crown and elegantly faceted lugs is in fine condition with some overall wear, both at the lugs and the case sides. The gold filled case back has a well preserved gold Seiko medallion and is in very fine condition, with just a few marks. The case does not appear to ever have been polished.

The watch comes on an after market leather strap and buckle of good quality.

Inside the watch, Seiko’s high grade King Seiko movement beats strongly and accurately to within about +-10 seconds per day. The watch was fully serviced in December 2025 and comes with a 12 month warranty on its proper mechanical functioning.

The wonderful dial combines with the overall great condition to make this watch really stand out on the wrist. This is a watch that will put a smile on your face every time you check the time.

Our watches are delivered in a luxury wooden watch box, fully serviced with a 12 month warranty that covers the mechanical functioning of the watch under normal use. We offer 14 days full return rights and are very proud of our reputation for outstanding customer satisfaction.
