Vintage King Seiko Vanac Special 5256-6000 1973
52KWL | Gefacetteerd kristal | Automatisch
Bent u op zoek naar een uniek exemplaar? Dan is deze Vintage Seiko KS Vanac Special met referentienummer 5256-6000 de perfecte keuze!
Seiko bracht de Seiko Vanac-serie begin jaren 70 uit en er is geen officiële verklaring waarom deze 'Vanac' wordt genoemd. Het resultaat is een gedurfd, uniek en speciaal ontwerp met levendige kleuren, vergeleken met de algemene 'grammatica van het ontwerp' van Seiko King Seiko.
De wijzerplaat is gradiëntgroen met uniek gevormde gepolijste indices aangevuld met een zwart dag-datumvenster en katana-vormige en gepolijste wijzers. Dit was een duur high-end horloge in 1973, weergegeven in de topklasse wijzerplaat en gesigneerde 'KS'-kroon.
Seiko Vanac viel onder de Seiko 'King Seiko'- serie met het automatische Cal. 5256 -kaliber, dat destijds werd beschouwd als een hi-beat -kaliber met 28.800 bph . Het was een state-of-the-art-kaliber met hacking en fijne afstelling .
Het horloge werkt perfect , windt goed op, de snelverstelling werkt en de nauwkeurigheid bedraagt 50 seconden per dag met een amplitude van 170.
We zullen misschien nooit weten waarom Seiko dit model de "Vanac" noemt, maar het is zeker een waar kunstwerk en iets volkomen unieks om de pols!

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 :)
