Vintage 1965 King Seiko Chronometer 4420-9990 Lion Medallion Hand Winding

Among Seiko collectors, King Seiko is regarded as the second highest-class wristwatch after Grand Seiko.
This 2nd model is a late model with a block chronometer notation on the dial.
The second hand has a unique shape with a bulging tip peculiar to the 2nd model.
The installed Cal.4420A is a 27-Jewel low-beat specification with 2 more Jewels added to the normal 44KS (25 Jewels).
 
Cal.4420A has a hack function with a hook-shaped regulation lever. The back cover medallion has the same chronometer symbol Lion medallion as Grand Seiko.
Since the production period for this model was about 2 years and the price was almost the same as 44 Grand Seiko, the number of sales were not high, and it is a very rare model today.
New Hirsch Black Leather Strap fitted.
 
Keeping good Vintage Time. Hacking works as it should. Service History Unknown. All Original Factory Polish with Patina (Not Re-Polished) Case back Lion Medallion and text in amazing original condition.

Owning a Vintage Watch:
 
Mechanical watches do not keep perfect time like a battery-powered watch. In addition, they do require service occasionally.
Since these pieces are vintage or pre-owned, please expect wear and patina from past usage and age.
If dropped, mishandled or otherwise abused, the movement or other parts of the watch can be damaged. Please handle with care. We hope you enjoy this item and wear it in good health for years to come!
