It is driven by the legendary 25-jewel Caliber 4500 manual-wind movement, a historic high-beat masterpiece operating at a blistering 36,000 vibrations per hour with a hacking mechanism to deliver the supreme chronometric accuracy, silky-smooth sweep, and mechanical longevity that defined the 45KS legacy. Following a full mechanical service, the caliber operates with optimal efficiency, providing smooth hand-winding performance and crisp, reliable timekeeping that established the line's landmark prestige.\u003cbr\u003eThe face of the watch features a stunning, professionally restored white dial that captures light with sharp precision across its pristine surface. Free of any date complications, this pure, time-only configuration highlights a harmonious minimalist symmetry that honors classic Japanese dress watch elegance. It is beautifully appointed with an applied gold-toned SEIKO logo, crisp KS Hi-Beat typography, the iconic Daini lightning bolt insignia, applied faceted gold-toned baton indices with a prominent double marker at 12 o'clock, and matching razor-sharp hands, adding incredible legibility, sharp contrast, and timeless refinement to the clean dial layout.\u003cbr\u003eThe gold-plated case is beautifully preserved, retaining its bold factory geometry, sharp multifaceted lugs, and iconic \"Grammar of Design\" faceted planes that sit comfortably on the wrist. Maintaining its classic executive identity, this reference positions its original KS-signed crown at 3 o'clock, perfectly complementing the balanced proportions of the case. Outside of the expertly restored dial, the timepiece remains entirely authentic, retaining its original factory movement, hands, case, crystal, crown, and gold King Seiko caseback medallion to meet the strict standards of discerning enthusiasts, beautifully paired with a premium textured brown leather strap.\u003cbr\u003eCollectors fiercely pursue vintage King Seiko 45KS references for their legendary 36,000 bph manual-wind architecture, pure Taro Tanaka case geometry, and revered Daini Seikosha pedigree. While purists value untouched factory dials, this pristine, expertly restored specimen offers an immaculate presentation paired with elite 1960s high-beat performance, a refined and essential cornerstone ready for any serious vintage Seiko collection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HN Vintage Pieces","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50554881835201,"sku":"WATCH-178","price":575.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0861\/7250\/0161\/files\/IMG_5174.jpg?v=1788345135","url":"https:\/\/hnvintagepieces.com\/products\/serviced-rare-vintage-1969-king-seiko-45ks-hi-beat-sgp-25-jewels-45-7000","provider":"HN Vintage Pieces","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
