Vintage Seiko King Quartz: A Timeless Classic from the 1970s

Think quartz watches must come cheap? That wasn't the case in the 1970s.

In the mid-70s, specifically in 1975, Seiko introduced the **King Quartz** brand alongside the **Grand Quartz** brand. Comparable to the esteemed **King Seiko**, the King Quartz occupied a prestigious position in Seiko's hierarchy, just below the **Seiko Superior** and **Seiko Grand Quartz**. During this era, quartz watches were among the most advanced timekeeping mechanisms in the watch industry. They had just been launched and were taking the industry by storm. Most **Vintage Seiko Quartz watches** were fitted with premium-designed cases to distinguish them from traditional mechanical series, and they commanded a higher retail price compared to their mechanical counterparts in the same tier.

Rare and Collectible: The King Quartz in Pristine Condition

Finding a Vintage Seiko King Quartz in excellent condition is a rare opportunity. Owing to their high value at the time (costing over 600 euros adjusted for inflation) and the fact that some quartz movements were not well-maintained over the decades, many have not survived the 50 years since their release. The watch we are offering features an integrated bracelet and a brushed finished case. The original brush finish is still retained on the case and is close to new.

While there are a few light usage marks on the crystal, the dial of the watch truly stands out. It has developed into a deep blue color from its original black dial, making it a fascinating piece to both admire and wear.
