Crafted by the Daini Seikosha Kameido factory, this model introduces a dramatic departure from the classic King Seiko design lineage. Housed in a striking cushion-shaped case, nicknamed the “Zabuton” case (座布団ケース) after the traditional Japanese floor cushion, it features a polished top surface paired with finely brushed, curved edges that play beautifully with the light, creating depth and dynamism from every angle.
The real showstopper, however, is the dial: Up close, you'll notice the understated elegance of its silver linen texture, accented with minimalist indices that subtly frame the dial’s edge. Under the hood beats the high-frequency Caliber 4500A, known for its precision and the buttery-smooth sweep of the second hand.
What makes this example truly exceptional is its condition and completeness: It’s a deadstock, stickered, and razor-sharp example, accompanied by its original strap, signed buckle, instruction manual, inner and outer boxes.
If this reference has ever caught your eye, this is the one to get, and trust us, you’ll be glad you did.
The watch works flawlessly and will be serviced before shipping.
