The watch

Seiko King Quartz from 1976 in excellent condition. It features a textured dial inspired by traditional Japanese tatami mats, one of the coolest dials when it comes to vintage Seiko.

Both the hammered-finish case and the original AR-coated crystal remain in excellent shape. The bracelet is light and loose-fitting and can be easily adjusted to fit most wrist sizes. The day display can be displayed in Japanese Kanji and English.

The watch has been inspected by a watchmaker and fitted with a new battery and battery hatch gasket (October 2025).

Details
In the sweltering heat of Daini Seikosha's Tokyo workshops during the summer of 1974, engineers worked over circuit boards no larger than a postage stamp. They pursued the quartz dream Seiko ignited four years earlier with the Astron, the world's first quartz wristwatch. This was not about raw power but precision on a budget. The result was the Caliber 0853, a high-grade analog quartz movement for the King Quartz line, Seiko's upscale tribute to the mechanical past in a quartz future.

The 0853 was a feat of miniaturization: a 32.768 kHz tuning-fork resonator, the heartbeat of quartz accuracy, vibrated to divide time into 10 beats per second, surpassing the 5 beats of Seiko's earlier Cal. 39 series. Integrated circuits, etched with micrometer precision, controlled the stepping motor driving the analog hands, while a date-and-day wheel advanced at midnight. Powered by a single silver-oxide battery (SR44), it offered monthly accuracy of plus or minus 10 seconds, modest today but revolutionary for an affordable luxury watch, outpacing many Swiss automatics reliant on balance wheels and escapements.

By 1975, the 0853 powered the first King Quartz models. The 0853B variant appeared by late 1976 with minor tweaks for smoother operation. It remained a workhorse in watches priced up to a million yen until the King Quartz line ended in 1985, overtaken by twin-quartz models boasting 20 seconds per year.

A+ mount for 4Runners
This is the best phone mount I've ever had. Got it for my 2021 4Runner. Very strong, doesn't come loose, easy to place and remove the phone from the mount. Can't recommend enough.

Best Phone Mount EVER!
I searched the Toyota forums and consistently saw this item mentioned as one that would not move on bump roads or even over time on smooth roads. It is the best and must secure mount I have ever used. It fits perfectly on was designed not to obscure the view. I have recommended this brand to everyone that I have talked to about mounts since I got. Very easy to install also!

The fit is perfect and is a sold mounting system
Custom fit for 2022 Tacoma, fit exactly. Very sturdy mount and took seconds to install. All metal with the exception of a adjustment knob. Quality hardware. More expensive than a lot of mounts but most are cheap plastic and are not nearly as solid and sturdy as the Offroam.

FINALLY a decent phone mount!!!
I’ve tried about 5 different phone mounts in my 2018 Tacoma and ended up throwing them all away. They’re either too bulky, too weak to hold the phone, awkward or just won’t stay in place. I won’t install a holder that requires adhesive or screws into the dash (or anywhere) in my truck. This holder is the answer. Fits perfectly, doesn’t damage your vehicle. Holds the phone really solidly. This is a very sturdy mount. It’s a bit pricy in comparison to other phone mounts out there. IMO, it’s worth every penny. Materials are far superior to your typical mount, which I’m sure drives up the manufacturing costs. Again, worth every penny. Also, it’s a small business based in the US. Love supporting our small businesses. GREAT MOUNT!!!
