Sharp as a katana, iconic as origami and rare as a unicorn. Here we have a king seiko 5626 with a day and a date function. What makes this a unicorn? The block inlays, only made for a very short period of time. Only made in late 60's, these inlays play around with the light in a unique way, almost like a diamond set. The hands are broad and easy to read. The case design, draw out by the legend Taro Tanaka makes this watch a conversation started and timeless. A mineral crystal, stainless steel case, automatic movement, all modern features on a watch from the 60's.
(for swiss watch collectors, Tanaka is the Gerald Genta of Japan)
Condition wise is this watch equal to a katana, never polisher, razor sharp, a few scratches but most importantly an untouched medaillon and monobloc case.
Movement wise: serviced and regulated within 5s a day. Quickset does work, do not use this between 6pm and 5am.
The case: 36mm
Lug: 18mm
The watch is not fitted on a handmade copper brown minimal stitch strap. Watch will be delivered with any strap you want.
