Late 1970s Seiko King Quartz featuring a textured metallic blue TV dial with applied silver baton markers and matching baton hands. The square steel case and integrated bracelet share the same textured finish as the dial, giving the watch a cohesive industrial design characteristic of late 1970s Japanese quartz watches. The day and date display features both Kanji and English. The broad case design gives the watch strong wrist presence and a distinctly vintage feel.
This example shows some wear consistent with age, including scratches on the case and Hardlex crystal. The dial has slight discoloration along the edges but remains mostly clean overall.
The watch is modeled on a 16cm (6.3 inch) wrist.

Vintage watches are durable and designed for regular wear, but should still be treated with care due to their age. Like all vintage watches, this piece is no longer considered water resistant. It is currently running well at the time of listing, though future servicing or adjustment may eventually be required, like any watch of its age.
