Later the movement got some tweaks and was named calibre 44 They also added a date complication with a reworked date plate known as the 4402 and also did a chronometer speck with two extra jewels\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe truly timeless King Seiko 4402. A manual wind, time and date watch. Crafted at Daini Seikosha With a 35mm diameter and slim profile, this is the typical silhouette of a timepiece born in the late 60’s. You may recognise the design language of this King Seiko with its sharp facets and high polish edges extrapolated to Grand Seiko pieces of today. This particular watch is amongst the first generation of pieces from the manufacture to feature Taro Tanaka’s grammar of design\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eMr Taro Tanaka’s grammar of design represents four core principles, those being all angles are to be flat and high polish to best reflect light, bezels to be two dimensional and simple, there is to be no visual distortion from any angle and all cases must be high polish. It’s fascinating to wear something on the wrist that is the genesis of an artist’s breakthrough design which paved the way for a successful career and the very foundation of what Seiko is today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOUR THOUGHTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eEven after all these years, this King Seiko 4402-8000 retains the timeless character that makes these vintage pieces so special.
