A King Quartz Seiko with an unusual dial and case with differences that are not immediately noticeably.  Model reference 5846-8090.

HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?

From the serial number on the case back we can accurately date this watch to being made in September 1978.

CONDITION

At first this looks like a nice King Quartz Seiko, and then when you look closer you see some design points that raise this from nice to interesting.  The case is matte finished on the top and polished on the sides, with a polished bar at twelve and six.  We haven’t seen this case design ourselves before.   That is matched to the original XOB540L bracelet, which is full length and requires no special tools to adjust.  The dial has a slight weave pattern to it, which is not obvious, but also has a couple of small marks.  The movement is the better than average 5846, with quick set date and day, and the day can be set in either English or Kanji.  We will install a brand new battery before sending the watch out to the new owner, and has an end of life (EOL) battery indicator as shown in the video.

This watch will be supplied with our branded presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.
