Vintage Seiko King Quartz Cap Gold 18ct - rare

This very rare 4823, like its co-habitant the 5855/6 in the Japanese catalogues of 1975, is a very solidly made quartz (your watchmaker will love it!). It is however a thicker watch than its descendant the 5856. To be sure, it has huge presence and its thermo-compensation, due to its relative thickness, is still excellent after all these years.

The Gold Starburst dial work is impeccable, this truly is a high end watch. You noticed of course black striped hand? It has that special Seiko gimmick of the "jumping seconds hand". This means that it will jump ahead 10 seconds when you pull the crown to adjust the time. It makes time setting so much easier!

It has L on the dial which means it is enhanced to make the battery last longer.

It is also in "new condition" extra rare for a watch this old.
