The watch
A real unicorn, this King Seiko in new old stock condition; 52 years old and not a single scratch. The caseback is engraved, suggesting it was given to an Osaka Gas Company employee as a 30-year service award.
Just look at that case, perfectly embodying Seiko’s ‘Grammar of design’ – a set of principles developed by designer Taro Tanaka that emphasized sharp, flat surfaces, distinct angles and polished finishes.
Details
The Seiko 5625-7110 is one of the most iconic King Seiko models, part of the acclaimed King Seiko line known for its high quality and precision. This watch features a stylish, minimalist design with a stainless-steel case and a clean dial with simple hour markers and a date window at 3 o’clock. It is almost identical to the 5625-7000 but has a slightly rounder case shape than the 7000.
Introduced when Seiko was making a name for itself against Swiss luxury brands, the 5625-7110 showcases the brand’s commitment to accuracy and craftsmanship. The watch is powered by the 5625A movement, an automatic high-beat mechanism running at 28,800 beats per hour. This movement has 25 jewels and quickset date feature.
Overall, it is a classic timepiece that combines elegant design with exceptional functionality, making it a favorite among collectors.
