Monochromatic Grammar: 1970 King Seiko KS Hi-Beat Gold Medallion (Ref. 5626-7000)
This serviced Rare Vintage 1970 King Seiko KS Hi-Beat Ref. 5626-7000 represents a historic pinnacle of Suwa Seikosha's engineering, embodying the sharp "Grammar of Design" philosophy that defined the brand's elite era. It is driven by the highly regarded 25-jewel Caliber 5626 automatic movement, a legendary high-frequency engine operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour to deliver elite precision, a hacking function, and a remarkably smooth sweep.
Having undergone a comprehensive mechanical service, the caliber operates with optimal efficiency. The classic silver sunburst dial is in 100% original condition, ensuring the sharp applied indices with black accents, razor-edged dauphine hands, and cleanly framed day-date calendar window stand out with pristine clarity. This factory-original face handles light with dynamic, mirrored precision, preserving uncompromised mid-century luxury.
The stainless steel case is beautifully preserved, retaining its original factory geometry with the powerful, sharp-edged lug architecture characteristic of the early 7000-series profile. A standout feature of this specific specimen is the original King Seiko gold medallion embedded on the caseback, which remains remarkably well-preserved. Every critical component of the watch head—including the original case, crystal, gold medallion, and KS crown—is factory-correct to guarantee total collector integrity. It comes beautifully paired with a premium black leather strap featuring distinctive white contrast X-stitching.
Collectors fiercely pursue the 5626-7000 for its exceptional build quality, sharp geometry, and daily practicality with its full day-date complication from a golden era.
