Produced by the Daini Seikosha factory, the King Seiko line was created in internal rivalry with Grand Seiko to push the boundaries of accuracy and design, embodying Taro Tanaka’s famous \"Grammar of Design\" rules. A 35mm gold-plated case offers a refined vintage aesthetic, while a slim case thickness of 10.5mm and a lug-to-lug length of 42mm provide an elegant, compact presence on the wrist. On the right side, an oversized, signed \"KS\" push-pull crown allows for smooth interaction with the hand-wound calibre. The sharp, multi-faceted lugs are a hallmark of the era, catching the light with geometric precision. A box-shaped acrylic crystal sits above a clean, crisp white dial that exudes timeless minimalism. An outer minute track surrounds applied, faceted gold baton indexes that mirror the case's sharp lines. Elegant, razor-sharp Dauphine hands sweep across the dial, while a date window framed in gold sits at the 3 o'clock position. Below the 12 o'clock position, the applied Seiko logo sits proudly, balanced by the \"King Seiko\" name and the Daini lightning bolt logo at 6 o'clock. On the reverse, a solid screw-down stainless steel case back features the iconic gold King Seiko shield medallion. Inside beats the Manually Wound Seiko Cal. 4402, a high-grade 25-jewel movement beating at a traditional 18,000 beats per hour, equipped with hacking seconds and a quick-set date function for modern convenience. It comes paired with an 18mm premium brown leather strap, secured by a gold-plated pin buckle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-cb276d81-7fff-3b34-2752-92f717d696f5\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seiko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56816272736636,"sku":"4402-8000","price":650.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/0771\/3366\/files\/1_c4507904-bcc2-4e92-a8ab-23d89a856423.jpg?v=1779974043","url":"https:\/\/kibblewatches.co.uk\/products\/1968-seiko-king-seiko-gold-plated-35mm-4402-8000","provider":"KibbleWatches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
