King Seiko 45KS 4502-7001 SGP

 

 

 

 

 

 

The King Seiko 45 Series stands as a testament to Seiko's relentless pursuit of precision and innovation. These watches aren't just about aesthetics, their extraordinary High-Beat movement, proudly proclaimed on the dial, is no mere marketing ploy, it’s a statement of technical mastery as they run at 36000 bph.

 

This particular example, the King Seiko 4502-7001, hails from January 1970, a time when Seiko's creativity was reaching its zenith. This golden era, beginning in the early 1960s, was fueled by a spirited rivalry between Seiko’s Suwa and Daini divisions. Suwa, based in Nagano, pioneered the first Grand Seiko manual and automatic movements, rooted in timeless designs from the late 1950s. Meanwhile, Daini, stationed in Tokyo, pushed the boundaries of watchmaking with the King Seiko sub-brand, introducing fresh, technologically advanced movements designed to outperform their Grand Seiko counterparts.

 

The 4502-7001 captures this innovation beautifully: Its off-white dial exudes understated elegance, adorned with applied hour markers and matching hands, both meticulously faceted and featuring striking black striping. The absence of luminescence reinforces the dial's crisp, uncluttered appeal. The SGP case mirrors the sophistication of Grand Seiko designs, with its sleek lines, sharp angles, and a mirror-like polish that highlights its craftsmanship. The gold-framed date window at 3 o’clock adds a touch of refinement, complemented by the satisfying quickset function and midnight snap-change that you'll look forward to daily.

 

This Ref.4502-7001 we're excited to offer is remarkable" Unused and stickered, it remains in immaculate, complete with its original leather straps, swing tag, instruction manual, SGP buckle, and box.

 

If you've been eyeing on this particular reference, especially in gold, this particular example is among the finest, if not the very best, you can find on the web.

 

Please note that the watch will undergo servicing upon purchase, which is estimated to take approximately 1-2 months.
