Here we’ve got a King Seiko 5626-7000 hi beat from May 1970. Hi beat in this case refers to 4 hz beat rate (not 5 hz of the manual wind varian). Beautiful case design instantly recognizable as Seiko, wonderful finishing as well. Lines appear sharp although I’m sure there has been a light polish at some point in the watch’s life. Dial has some staining around the 3 oclock side. Movement was serviced by the previous owner, it runs steady and strong, consistently -10 seconds per day when worn, -5 when left dial up. Day and date change as they should, also quickset as they should. The date sometimes appears slightly crooked in its window, this is a common issue with these movements, but I was assured by the person that serviced it that it’s a minor flaw with no serious functional threat. Watch is sold head only, CONUS only for $200. I take Zelle, PayPal, Cashapp or Venmo. Any questions or additional photos please feel free to ask. Thanks!

	Established:	1881
	Website:	http://seikousa.com/index.php
	Country of Origin:	Japan

The company was founded in 1881, when Kintarō Hattori opened a watch and jewelry shop called "K. Hattori" (服部時計店 Hattori Tokeiten?) in the Ginza area of Tokyo, Japan. Eleven years later, in 1892, he began to produce clocks under the name Seikosha (精工舎 Seikōsha?), meaning roughly "House of Exquisite Workmanship". According to Seiko's official company history, titled "A Journey In Time: The Remarkable Story of Seiko" (2003), Seiko is a Japanese word meaning "exquisite" or "success" ("exquisite" is usually written 精巧 from Chinese jīngqiǎo, while the meaning "success" is usually written 成功 from Chinese chénggōng).

Seiko is perhaps best known for its wristwatches, all of which were at one time produced entirely in-house. This includes not only major items such as microgears, motors, hands, crystal oscillators, batteries, sensors, LCDs but also minor items such as the oils used in lubricating the watches and the luminous compounds used on the hands and the dials.
