King Seiko "Blocky" KS 5625-7000 Automatic 1969

€450,00 EUR
Tax included

I'm still debating if I shouldn't keep this - This Seiko King Seiko "Blocky" is absolute amazing. The Seiko 5625 hi-beat movement runs amazing, the 7000 case is unpolished and still has sharp edges and the dial has (rightfully) earned the nickname "blocky" because of the rectagular shape of index that are applied and really are elevated above everything else on the dial. Fortunately, the gold medallion is still in good shape and not tarnished yet.

The lume on the hands have slighly detoriated, but not too much so it gives a great vintage vibe. The dial is in great condition else.

I've paired this beautiful Vintage Seiko King Seiko on a vintage looking taupe strap in 19mm. This watch is just pure 1970 Seiko gold and an amazing watch for any collector, seiko or vintage in general. 

This is model 56KAC from the 1970 Catalog. This model was only made for a relatively short production time (1969-1971) in comparison with the more "normal" indexed 5625-7000 dial-models.

All your questions answered

Are these Genuine Seiko Watches?

Yes - all watches offered on WatchEra are 100% genuine.

I have been collecting Seiko & Watches for over 10 years, had over 1500 different seiko's passed through my hands, are actively contributing to forums & groups and carefully - I even own a bunch of Seiko Catalogs & Books to use as reference.

  • If parts are replaced (like strap or crystal) this is always mentioned in the description.
  • I do not sell "redials", "mumbai specials" "seiko mods" or other franken-watches related.
  • To proof the authenticity, I'll give you all references available, the original model number and a picture of how the watch was depicted in the original vintage seiko dealer catalog.

Feel free to ask me any specific questions about vintage Seiko watches.

3 Months Warranty - How does it work?

All watches sold on WatchEra are working and any details important to the functionality are mentioned.

I do stand behind the quality of the watches that I sell and therefor offer a 3 month warranty on the movement.

At WatchEra - every watch that hits the store is checked by myself personally or by one of the watchmakers I work with.

However - most watches sold are used, vintage and sometimes very old wristwatches. Generally speaking I'm not aware of the (service) history or water resistance but will describe the current condition as transparant as possible.

Rules Apply. Read more here.

Will you ship worldwide?

Yes, I ship watches worldwide WatchEra sells watches to watch fans all over the world daily, I've sold to over 30 different countries.

Shipping Courier

- I mainly use PostNL (Dutch National Postal Company) - this means that the package could be delivered by your national parcel company when it arrived in your co

What if the parcel gets lost or stolen?

I only ship watches 100% insured up to the purchase amount

This means you'll be able to receive a full refund if the watch ends up to be confirmed stolen or lost by the carrier.

Will the watch arrive safely?

Yes, I've learned how to properly protect and ship watches worldwide and you don't have to worry about the watch being damaged or defunct during shipping.

Your watch will be:

  • Well-packed in neutral carton box
  • Protected against fall damage
  • Protected against water damage
  • Has neutral packaging to prevent theft
  • We only ship watches in BOXES not in ENVELOPS as we believe boxes are way less often lost by shipping companies.

Please read our more in-depth Return-Policy!

Return-Costs are for the buyer.

How are you able to offer so much Vintage Seiko Watches?

That's the secret of the smith ofcourse, but to give a small insight:

I've been collecting vintage Seiko Watches myself for over 10 years and over the years I've built a net work of fellow seiko-collectors, watch resellers and other companies and individuals that are able to consistently offer high-quality genuine vintage Seiko's to me, mainly from Asia & Japan.

Next to that, I use alot of the same platforms that you might use and local marketplaces, watch fairs & auctions.

Also, do note that Seiko was one of the booming and most succesful watch companies throughout the 70s and 80s and millions of Seikos were produced & sold - my skill is finding the right ones for you :)
