Seiko King Quartz 0853-8025
Vintage Japanese Precision | Dated November 1976
A perfect specimen of Seiko’s high-end quartz engineering, the King Quartz 0853-8025 blends clean architectural design with precision timekeeping. This example showcases the rare and intricate "tatami" textured dial, shimmering in soft silver tones under light, framed by applied baton indices and sharp dauphine hands.
The distinctive Florentine-brushed case and bracelet—a hallmark of Daini Seikosha craftsmanship—adds rich texture and a premium feel rarely seen in contemporary watches. It features an integrated steel bracelet with alternating polished and frosted finishes that complement the watch head flawlessly.
Inside ticks the Caliber 0853A, a 9-jewel, temperature-compensated quartz movement with quickset day-date (Kanji/English) and hacking seconds—designed for superb accuracy and long service life.
