It spoke of accuracy independently tested, and King Seiko was at the heart of Japan's determination to meet that demanding standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy 1973, the 5625-7041 had carried the earlier 7040 design forward. Seiko kept the elegant, sharply defined case and introduced a removable screw-back, making life easier for the watchmaker without changing the character of the watch. There is something very appealing about that restraint: a mechanical watch built with genuine ambition, but designed to look completely at ease on the wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA BIT OF TRIVIA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJapan established its own independent chronometer inspection institute in 1968, with the first King Seikos certified the following year. Grand Seiko, interestingly, took a different route, following Seiko's separate house standards. So while Grand Seiko often takes the headlines, King Seiko had an important part of its own to play in proving just how good Japanese mechanical timekeeping had become.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOUR THOUGHTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe love the contrast in this one. Those angular case shoulders have a confidence about them, while the silver dial is calm and wonderfully straightforward. It is an appealing watch to wear without having to make a statement about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen, if somebody happens to notice the little Chronometer wording, there is a good story waiting. We rather like watches that offer both pleasures.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Past2PresentWatches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63221983412611,"sku":"KS3D07WO","price":645.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/2397\/4423\/files\/king-seiko-5625-7041-front-_2.jpg?v=1794571652","url":"https:\/\/past2presentwatches.com\/products\/vintage-king-seiko-5625-7041-watch-chronometer-officially-certified-1973-serviced-uk-warranty","provider":"Past2PresentWatches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
