It was positioned directly below Grand Seiko in terms of pricing, quality and accuracy. While the brand was initially created as Daini Seikosha’s alternative to Suwa Seikosha’s Grand Seiko, by 1969, both factories were creating watches for both ranges and King Seiko was firmly established as Seiko’s second, purely-domestic, luxury line. As with all Seikos of this period, a star logo is used to differentiate the various quality of markers used on the dials. A triangle superimposed with three lines indicates an applied dial (AD) with markers plated in gold or rhodium. An eight-pointed star pierced by a four-point hollow star indicates a special dial (SD) with markers in either solid yellow gold or solid white gold. It is always worth searching for the rarer SD models because their markers tend to stay bright whereas AD markers sometimes corrode over time.King Seiko 1st Generation SD dial j14102 Men’s watch from 1962 is still in good working condition beautiful dial with 18K solid gold indices including new genuine leather strap.
