The Seiko King Quartz 5856-8001 represents Seiko's high-end quartz craftsmanship from the late 1970s. Powered by the caliber 5856, a single-quartz movement descended from the revolutionary 0853 and the last of its kind before Seiko moved to twin-quartz technology, this JDM model showcases exceptional finishing quality with its sunburst silver dial and applied markers that shimmer distinctively in light. The cushion-shaped case and premium construction demonstrate Seiko's commitment to quality in their early quartz era.
