It is driven by the highly regarded Caliber 4823 quartz movement, a high-grade early quartz engine engineered with robust architecture, exceptional chronometric accuracy, and reliable battery efficiency to deliver the uncompromising precision that defined the King Quartz legacy. Following a full mechanical service and battery checkup, the caliber operates with optimal efficiency, providing precise deadbeat second ticks, smooth calendar progression, and flawless day\/date quickset functionality that established the line's prestige.\u003cbr\u003eThe face of the watch features a pristine, factory-original white dial that captures light with sharp precision across its clean surface. A crisp framed day-date window sits at 3 o'clock, featuring a classic dual-language display that highlights the textbook 1970s geometric symmetry of the layout. It is beautifully appointed with an applied gold-toned SEIKO logo, crisp King Quartz typography, the iconic applied single-quartz crystal emblem above 6 o'clock, applied faceted gold-toned baton indices with black contrast inlays, and matching sharp hands, adding incredible legibility, rich contrast, and executive refinement to the bright background.\u003cbr\u003eThe gold-plated case is beautifully preserved, retaining its sharp factory geometry, faceted lugs, and crisp planar bevels that sit comfortably on the wrist while echoing the enduring \"Grammar of Design\" philosophy. Maintaining its classic dress watch identity, this reference positions its crown at 3 o'clock, perfectly complementing the balanced proportions of the case. Outside of an aftermarket replacement crown and a newly fitted premium textured brown leather strap, the watch head remains authentic and unaltered, retaining its original factory dial, hands, crystal, case, and high-precision movement to meet the strict standards of discerning enthusiasts.\u003cbr\u003eCollectors fiercely pursue late-1970s King Quartz references for their historic transition of the prestigious King Seiko lineage into high-accuracy quartz horology and their immaculate case architecture. While many gold-plated examples from this era have suffered significant plating wear or dial discoloration over the decades, this pristine, fully serviced specimen offers a rare opportunity for collectors who appreciate late-1970s luxury precision preserved in outstanding condition, a refined and essential cornerstone ready for any serious vintage watch collection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HN Vintage Pieces","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50554882162881,"sku":"WATCH-183","price":260.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0861\/7250\/0161\/files\/IMG_5696.jpg?v=1788345691","url":"https:\/\/hnvintagepieces.com\/products\/serviced-rare-vintage-1977-seiko-king-quartz-sgp-4823-8110","provider":"HN Vintage Pieces","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
