April 1974Cal. 5625-7113Serviced: January 2024 The King Seiko 56 or KS56 refers to the watches that house the Cal.5621, 5625 and 5626 movements. These watches were produced for 14 year period, spanning from 1968 to 1982. They are the performance automatics of the base Cal.5601 and Cal.5606 Lord Matics. The Kings run at a higher beat rate requiring a beefier mainspring and pallet fork jewels. For better accuracy, they are fitted with jeweled barrel holes. The KS56 movement also have a decorated bridge plate. The automatic rotor also has gold filled lettering. Furthermore the King line has been retired from the late 70 and has only been revived recently, giving the line a nostalgia that is frozen in time. This particular example is the 7113 case which has a screwdown caseback and without a gold medallion. The case is quite compact and the lugs have a sharper profile compared to the venerable 7000 monocoque case. It is also taller. This is also a date only model which give the watch a very minimal look. The Dial has a bit of edge ware at the 11 o'clock and between 5 and 6 o'clock, however to the naked eye it is not very noticeable. The Dial is otherwise very clean without stains, as are the hands. The Date Jumper Star has been replaced with a metal one an works flawlessly. The strap is one of a kind handmade leather craft. It is padded for a more luxurious feel.This is an excellent every day watch with vintage charm. Its design is versatile enough to be paired with dressy or casual wear. This would also be a good choice for someone looking for a compact King Seiko. As for sizing, the case is a bit tall compared to its profile but the compactness of the Cal.56 makes for an overall compact wear.
