BEREGOND: King Seiko 5245-6000. Moje nejmilovanější. I s páskem váží pouhých 53 gramů, takže na ruce o nich skoro nevím. Samuraje váží i s tahem 180 gramů! Oranžády jsou pak se 100 gramy někde zhruba uprostřed. Navíc nízké profilem, takže s nimi prakticky skoro nenarážím, když třeba strkám ruku někam do zúženého prostoru: 9,5 mm vs samurajských 14. Přesnost bývá uváděna -3/+5 sekund na den. A když jsem si je kdysi - krátce po pořízení z eBay - nechal seřídit, tak skutečně běžely při správném odložení na noc prakticky na 0. Tudíž jsem zvědavý, jak na tom budou teď, po důkladném servisu po cca 7 letech.
Jinak už jsem tu o nich psal včetně fotek:

[STEPNI_VLK @ Hodinky - Jake mate? Jake chcete? O kterych snite? obrazky,rady,diskuze]I strongly believe that 52 King Seiko special chronometer quality exceeded Grand Seikos.
The brand name "King Seiko" was the symbol of Daini-Seikosha.
In the '70 era, the quartz watch sale became very rampant. At that stage, Daini Seikosha thought that the 52 caliber was the last chance to produce for mechanical watches, and thus, they felt that they should produce a superior caliber to remain part of the watch history.
- Durability
- Thin caliber
- The function with day and date change quickly at 24:00
- One piece case for perfect water proof
(Honestly speaking the water proof ability was a weakness. Almost people take a bath and swim with the watch. So it is hard to find no stain dial on the 52 King Seiko special.)
The 8 bps movement was more durable than the 10 bps movement. This could be due to that 10 bps 45 caliber needed more frequent maintanence..
Thus, Daini-Seikosha produced the new caliber based on the experience. 52 caliber!!
Based on selection of only high precision parts, 52 King Seiko Special chronometer was born!!
This caliber design was so great that it was modified to become the famous 4S caliber after about 20 years.
Because of this superb caliber, Daini-Seikosha named it "Special " (as to more superior) than normal King Seiko .
Lastly, I think 52 King Seiko quality exceeded those of the Grand Seikos.
