No. 403 / King Seiko 56KS - 1970

King Seiko 56KS Hi-Beat / 1970 Intro This King Seiko 5625-7000 from 1970 is in excellent vintage condition. It is powered by the Caliber 5625 movement, known for its reliability and convenient quickset date function, allowing rapid adjustment via the crown. Story The earliest model of the King Seiko was produced in 1963 by Daini Seikosha Co., as an answer to the release of the 1960 Grand Seiko by Suwa Seikosha Co. The internal rivalry between the two wholly owned subsidiaries had led to the race of becoming the company’s flagship brand. The perfection of accuracy and precision was their common driving force for glory, so it was inevitable that both brands (The GS and the KS) culminated their achievements by each creating a Hi-Beat timepiece.
