Gold Capped Case

First King Seiko Model

This reference holds special historical importance as the very first model produced under the King Seiko name.
It is powered by the manually wound Caliber 44, a robust and reliable movement that helped establish Seiko's credibility in higher end mechanical watchmaking during the early 1960s.

The gold case shows visible markings consistent with careful use over decades. Importantly, the case appears to retain its original form, which is especially desirable for early gold examples where polishing can easily soften details. The crystal remains clean with no damage or signs of moisture.

This is a historically significant piece best appreciated for its role in the origins of Japanese high end watchmaking.

To keep your watch performing at its best, we recommend avoiding strong impacts, extreme temperatures, and prolonged exposure to moisture unless your watch is designed for water activities. After exposure to salt water, rinse the watch gently with fresh water and dry with a soft cloth.

For mechanical watches, regular wear helps keep the movement running smoothly. If the watch is not worn often, manual winding may be needed depending on the model. Quartz watches may require battery replacement over time.

Leather straps should be kept away from excessive water and humidity to preserve their appearance and longevity.

Because care recommendations can vary by brand and model, please refer to the manufacturer manual included with your watch for detailed operating instructions, water resistance guidelines, and service intervals.
