Pre-owned Price 4800 AED

**Movement:** Seiko caliber 5626, automatic “Hi-Beat” — a high-frequency movement from the prestigious King Seiko line, engineered for superior accuracy and a smoother sweep than standard Seiko automatics of the era.

**Case & Dial:** Cushion-shaped stainless steel case with a refined silver/champagne sunburst dial. Applied faceted rectangular markers in two-tone silver and black, paired with matching two-tone baton hands and a slim seconds hand featuring a distinctive cross-bar detail. “SEIKO KS AUTOMATIC HI-BEAT” signed at 9 in classic King Seiko lettering, with the King Seiko crest at 6. Day/date window at 3 o’clock displaying “MON 6.” Reference 5626-7010T printed on the dial.

**Case Back:** Solid stainless steel case back confirms reference 5626-7010, engraved “Stainless Steel,” “Waterproof,” and “Open Thru Glass, Push Set Lever, Pull Stem,” with the gold-tone Seiko King crest medallion at center and serial number 8005817.

**Bracelet:** Stainless steel bracelet, in good condition with light age-appropriate wear.

**Condition:** Pre-owned, running well. Dial retains excellent sunburst finish and sharp marker detailing; case shows honest handling wear typical of a vintage piece. Case back is clean and fully legible, confirming authenticity and reference match to the dial.

**Collector Notes:** King Seiko was Seiko’s premium in-house line, produced alongside Grand Seiko and prized by collectors for superior finishing and the high-beat movement’s smoother sweep and improved accuracy. Having a clearly matched, legible case back is a real plus for collectors verifying authenticity — this is a genuine step above standard Seiko 5 territory and a strong entry point into serious King Seiko collecting.
