Seiko 52KS King Seiko Special 5245-6010 Chronometer White Sunburst Dial

In 1971, Seiko’s Daini division introduced the 52-series movement with a high-precision caliber built to chronometer standards and named the King Seiko Special. One of the standout models from this series is the Seiko 5245-6010, featuring a monocoque case design, meaning the case is crafted as a single piece with movement access only through the front. The round case subtly widens at the sides and features sharp, well-defined edges, giving it a distinctive and refined presence.

The silver sunburst-textured dial sets this model apart, exhibiting a unique light blue hue that differentiates it from the standard silver dials seen in many other vintage Seiko watches. The "Special" designation printed on the dial signifies an elevated level of movement regulation, ensuring higher accuracy. Another notable feature of the caliber 5245 is its instant date-change mechanism, a highly regarded innovation among collectors.

This watch remains in good condition, with a recently serviced movement that runs well. The dial is clean, while the unpolished case and crystal show light signs of wear of hairline scratches, preserving the watch’s original character.

A fine representation of Seiko’s precision engineering and design innovation, this King Seiko Special is a fantastic addition for collectors seeking both historical significance and mechanical excellence.
