Vintage King Seiko HiBeat 5625-7080 1970
Automatic | 56KAC 110
A great example of a King Seiko Hi-Beat with reference 5625-7080. A great example with great cosmetic condition case, untouched dial and KS medallion in good shape.
The 35mm case is in original and in good shape, showing scratches and signs of wear. It appears to have been polished it the past because some of the factory brushing on the front lugs is not visible anymore. I love this case design, slightly appearing "fat" due to the lugs and case.
With a 41mm lug-to-lug it wears relatively big for it's case diameter. It is paired here with a aftermarket brown leather strap bracelet that goes well and can be easily adjusted.
It's a very early 1970 example so it has the gold plated KS Medallion and has a nice recessed 'KS' signed (original) crown.
The watch has a replaced aftermarket hardlex with no scratches. The watch is working great, runs +3s/d with 223 amplitude and 0.7ms beat error. Note: The day quickset is broken, can only be set manually by turning.
This is model 56KAC 110 from the 1971 Catalog costing ¥23,000

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.

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 :)
