1950s Seiko 'Crown' Seikosha Cal. 560 34.5mm Steel J14096
Here we have an early, rarely seen 1950s Seiko 'Crown' Seikosha Cal. 560 34.5mm Steel J14096, launched in 1959. It was positioned between the Seiko Marvel and Grand Seiko; the technical improvements to the movement paved the way for future Grand Seikos, which eventually replaced the Crown. Featuring a 34.5mm round stainless steel case that sits comfortably on your wrist with straight, slightly tapered, flat-ended drilled lugs. Its curved flanks lead to a lug-to-lug length of 42mm and a case thickness of 10mm. On the right side, a domed coin-edged crown. Its smooth bezel holds a domed crystal above a white dial. Applied polished double and single batons mark the hours. Elegant Dauphine hands are complemented by a tapered second hand. Completing this distinctive dress watch at noon, we have the ‘Seiko Crown motif and at 6 o’clock, ‘Diashock 21 Jewels’. On the reverse, a snap on case back engraved in Japanese "Commemorative Award For The Port's Effective Performance - Japanese State Owned Railway". Inside an early manually wound Seikosha Cal. 560, 21 jewels, beating at a leisurely 18,000 beats per hour. Seiko designed this movement to be marginally larger for improved accuracy and easier maintenance. It comes paired with a well-suited 18mm strap and pin buckle.
