Description
Seiko King Quartz 2843-8000G Gold Cap Men's Watch Vintage New Battery Working. Elegant and sharply executed vintage Seiko King Quartz 4823-8000 from 1976, featuring the desirable gold-capped (“G Cap”) case construction used on higher-end Seiko models of the era. Part of Seiko’s prestigious King Quartz line, the 4823 series represented some of the company’s most refined quartz offerings during the height of Japan’s 1970s precision watch competition. The watch combines the crisp case geometry and finishing language associated with vintage King Seiko and Grand Seiko designs with the exceptional accuracy and reliability of Seiko’s early high-grade quartz movements. Features include: * Original gold-capped case construction (“G Cap”) * Sharp faceted 1970s case design * High-grade Seiko 4823 quartz movement * Clean dress-watch proportions * Elegant minimalist dial layout * Made in Japan, 1976 production Unlike simple gold plating, Seiko’s gold-capped construction used a substantially thicker bonded gold layer, giving these watches a more luxurious appearance and greater long-term durability. The 4823 movement is well regarded among vintage Seiko enthusiasts for its quality, accuracy, and smooth refined execution during the golden era of Japanese watchmaking. A sophisticated vintage Japanese dress watch that wears with the understated refinement collectors seek from classic King Seiko and high-end Seiko quartz references of the 1970s.
