Here is a wonderful, all original King Seiko 56KS Hi-Beat from 1971. The silver sunburst dial is in very fine condition, with steel Seiko and KS logos and faceted black polished steel hour markers, double at 12 o’clock. There are a few marks around the dial, perhaps most pronounced at around the 38 minute mark and the 47 minute mark. The faceted tapered baton hands are in very fine condition, with the characteristic central black contrast stripe. The hack stops the seconds hand when the crown is pulled out to set the time, so the time can be set more accurately. The steel framed window at 3 o’clock displays the quick-set date and weekday in Kanji and English. The quick-set should only be done when the hands are at the bottom half of the dial.
The stainless steel bezel is in fine condition with some overall wear, perhaps most notable at around 6 and 10 o’clock. The large cushion shaped case with the original KS crown and long faceted lugs is in fine condition with some overall wear both on the sides and at the lugs. The stainless steel case back is in very fine condition, with a slightly worn KS engraving and light overall wear.
The watch comes on an after market leather strap and buckle of good quality.
Inside the watch, Seiko’s high grade, Hi-Beat 5626A movement beats strongly and accurately to within about +-10 seconds per day. The watch was fully serviced in November 2023 and comes with a 12 month warranty on its proper mechanical functioning.
Any King Seiko is a joy to wear and own, and this one is not an exception. The wonderful dial and overall condition makes this is a watch you will want to wear very often.
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.
