Seiko King Seiko 4402-8000 – Manual-wind Date – 36 mm – Gold-tone Case – Vintage Japan (1960s)

Offering a clean example of the King Seiko 4402-8000—the date version of the famed 44KS. It wears beautifully at ≈36 mm, with sharp 44-style lugs and a crisp white dial set off by gold batons and dauphine hands. The manual-wind cal. 4402 is running and sets properly; service history is unknown so I’m pricing it as an unserviced vintage watch. What you’ll like • Iconic 44KS case proportions (circa mid-1960s) • Hand-wind Seiko 4402 movement with date at 3 o’clock • Elegant white/silver dial with applied gold indexes and framed date window • Domed acrylic crystal for the correct vintage look • Honest case with attractive warm gold tone Condition notes (transparent) • Running and keeping acceptable vintage time on wrist; no timing guarantee due to age • Dial shows light, even patina under certain angles; hands/indices remain bright • Case & bezel: gold-tone plating shows minor hairlines and small points of wear (see photos) • Acrylic crystal has light swirls typical of age (polishable) • Crown winds/sets normally; quick-set not present (date advances via time setting) • Bracelet: period gold-tone bracelet fitted (aftermarket); clasp holds securely
