This vintage King Seiko 5626-7000 from 1969 is in good condition, making it a perfect choice for daily wear without the worry of keeping it pristine. The (sharp) case and crystal show normal signs of use, and the (original) dial is in very good condition with only slight discoloration around the edges, adding character to the watch’s vintage appeal. The gold medallion on the caseback also shows some wear, but overall retains its charm.

The watch has undergone a professional full service, which guarantees it’s mechanically sound and ready to wear for years to come without concern. It is currently fitted with a Seiko LM bracelet, which complements the watch well. Of course, you can easily switch it to a leather strap of your choice, as the 18mm lug width makes finding options simple.

This is a great opportunity to own a classic King Seiko in wearable condition, perfect for someone who appreciates a classic King Seiko without needing a museum piece.

Details
The Seiko 5626-7000 is one of the most iconic King Seiko models, part of the acclaimed King Seiko line known for its high quality and precision. This watch features a stylish, minimalist design with a stainless-steel case and a clean dial with simple hour markers and a day and date window at 3 o’clock, as opposed to the 5625, which only has a date display.

Introduced when Seiko was making a name for itself against Swiss luxury brands, the 5626-7000 showcases the brand’s commitment to accuracy and craftsmanship. The watch is powered by the 5625A movement, an automatic high-beat mechanism running at 28,800 beats per hour. This movement has 25 jewels and quickset date feature.

Overall, it’s a classic timepiece that combines elegant design with exceptional functionality, making it a favorite among collectors.

These models often have a broken quickset function, which is still intact in this watch. However, be cautious when changing the date – don’t do this between 9 and 4 at night, when the mechanism is engaged, to avoid breaking.
