Vintage King Seiko 5246-6000 Special Chronometer (1971)



This King Seiko 5246-6000 Special Hi-Beat Chronometer contains one of the finest movements ever created by Seiko – the 52KS – inside a one-piece stainless-steel monobloc case.



Condition
This watch was recently serviced, and has had a light case refinish to bring back the original brushed and polished surfaces and sharp edges, and it looks amazing. The linen dial and hands are in great shape, and the quickset day and date both work as they should, with a choice of English or Kanji (Japanese) for the days.

The movement is running strong and keeping very good time. Day and date both change instantly at midnight. For more about the 52KS movement, see here.
