Turn it slightly and the sharply defined hour markers and angular case begin to show their character. The appeal lies in that contrast between a calm dial and purposeful geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside is the hand-wound calibre 4502A, part of Daini Seikosha's 45-series family, beating at 36,000 vibrations an hour. It was ambitious engineering housed in a watch that never needed to advertise its technical achievements. The result is a particularly satisfying balance of precision, proportion and seventies design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA BIT OF TRIVIA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere were two rather different King Seiko moods in 1972. Alongside the reserved lines of the 45KS, Seiko introduced the VANAC: a much bolder expression with vivid colours and more playful, faceted designs. The watches came from the same period, yet could hardly have approached the idea of a modern watch more differently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOUR THOUGHTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat catches our eye on this 4502-7001 is the way the light picks out the hour markers against the silver dial. The case has plenty of shape without feeling oversized, and the hand-wound 4502A gives it a character of its own. We enjoy these high-beat King Seikos because the engineering is every bit as interesting as the design; this is a good example of both working together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Past2PresentWatches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62822663029123,"sku":"KS2006WO","price":745.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/2397\/4423\/files\/King-Seiko-4502-7001-front_4.jpg?v=1792751315","url":"https:\/\/past2presentwatches.com\/products\/vintage-king-seiko-4502-7001-hi-beat-manual-wind-1972-silver-dial-serviced-uk-warranty","provider":"Past2PresentWatches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
