Letting go of one of my favorite discoveries from the Japanese auction scene — the Seiko King Quartz 5856-5000T, nicknamed the “Blue Blizzard.” The dial is the highlight here — a textured frost-blue surface that dances between deep navy and icy silver under light, giving it incredible depth and charm. Paired with crisp applied indices, gold “King Quartz” lettering, and that signature 1970s Seiko geometry, it wears with understated elegance. Inside beats Seiko’s Cal. 5856 high-grade quartz movement — one of the brand’s top quartz calibers of the late 1970s, rated for ±10 seconds per month accuracy. The Kanji/English day-date (currently showing 金 — “Friday”) adds that special JDM character collectors love.
