History
The King Seiko line represents a period of intense internal competition and technical achievement for the brand during the 1960s and 1970s. The reference 5626-7111 marked a significant design shift for the model line, abandoning the earlier one-piece monobloc case in favor of a traditional screw-back design. This reference utilizes the 5626B movement, which updated the architecture of the previous 5626A by replacing the external regulator with a standard, internally accessible regulator. These refinements produced a highly capable and elegant timepiece that remains highly regarded among collectors today.
