Hello Watchexchange, Up for sale is this uncommon blue gradient King Seiko KS Hi-Beat from 1973, comes with contrasting brand new Seiko brown leather strap. The dial is a beautiful gradient blue. The 5626 automatic day-date movement is still in good condition and keeps time well: approx 1 minute slow per day, which is very good, considering the watch is 50 years old. In this watch, the quickset day/date part is still working. A known issue with 56KS, but also 56GS and 56LM. is that the quickset part tends to break over time. Just be sure to change the day/date at 6:30PM. Cosmetically, the watch is in good condition overall. The plexiglass is showing some signs of wear; there are some light scratches. The watch has been outfitted with a brand new Seiko leather strap. Please have a look at the pictures carefully and ask questions if unsure.
