Thanks for viewing my listing! I have been a net collector of vintage watches over the years and now I've reached to point where I would like others to enjoy my watches/accessories or finish off projects I don't have time for. Description: Vintage King Seiko Scripted Hand Wind 49999 Chronometer with Display back, Ultra Rare Chronometer Display Box. Condition: Pre-owned; Very Good Condition. 38mm diameter excluding crown, 43mm lug-lug, accommodates 18mm strap/bracelet. Accessories: Vintage 18mm Seiko signed dark brown croc grain strap; Custom display caseback; Ultra Rare original Chronometer signed box. Notes: You have the opportunity to acquire a King Seiko Scripted Hand Wind 49999 Chronometer with Display back and Ultra Rare Chronometer Display Box. His "Grammar of Design" established the design rules for the Grand Seiko series to this day. The final revision of the Cal. This specific KS Chronometer dates to December 1964 based on the caseback serial. It is the early 49999 variant with a beautifully scripted "Chronometer" label on the dial. The early signed chronometer grade movement with proper unsigned bridge is in great shape. Of note, the hacking lever works and remains intact, but I would recommend gentle pulling of the crown to avoid breaking it as it is near impossible to replace. The spear-shaped seconds hands is a design wonder and the Zaratsu polished minute/hour hands shine like swords. Acrylic crystal is new old stock; free of cracks/deep scratches. The dial has limited patina/degeneration, very good shape for a vintage. Raised polished hour markers are in great shape. Signed "W Seiko" crown winds well. Case and caseback have a few light scratches; light wear on the caseback and the original lion medallion but it's all intact. Included is an unused vintage dark brown 18mm/15mm Seiko glossy croc grain leather strap that will accommodate an original vintage buckle. Another bonus is a custom Japan-made glass display caseback so you can truly appreciate the beautiful 27J Cal. 4420A hand wind movement and check on that hacking lever. Movement is clean, and is keeping good time; service recommended for all vintages. What takes the cake here is the original Seiko Chronometer box - correct for this series and also used in the early Seikomatic Chronometer, Liner Chronometer and Early Chronometer dial Grand Seiko 5722 series.
Caliber 4420 is considered Seiko's best vintage low beat movement - it is must have for serious collectors!
