King Seiko 45KS 4502-7010 Sakura Dial

Introduction:

Introduced in 1968, 45KS shared the Hi-Beat manual movement with 45GS and was among the most accurate watches Seiko produced in late 1960s. Most of the 45KS found in the second-hand market have a classic KS style case (45/4502-7000). However, around 1970, 45KS with an oval case (45/4502-7010) was issued. The design of the case was actually inspired by pebble, a common material used to decorate Japanese gardens. This watch here has naturally grown amazing patina around the dial, thus named "Sakura Dial".
