Key Features

The Apex of Late-1970s Executive Quartz Supremacy (1977): Manufactured in **1977**—a defining historical era when Japan's quartz technology dominated global watchmaking—the **Seiko King Quartz** reference **4822-8110** represented Daini Seikosha's high-grade quartz flagship. Positioned as a luxury successor to mechanical King Seiko models, this reference delivered unprecedented single-crystal quartz accuracy wrapped in uncompromising executive styling.

The Over-Engineered 7-Jewel Caliber 4822 Quartz Movement: Powering this landmark timepiece is the high-grade **7-jewel Caliber 4822**, an early-generation in-house quartz engine built with solid metal gears and a lavish **7-jewel specification** for minimal mechanical friction. Unlike disposable modern quartz movements, the 48-series was fully serviceable and fine-tunable, offering extreme monthly accuracy alongside a crisp quick-set date calendar mechanism.

Architectural ""8110"" Grammar of Design Case Geometry: The reference **4822-8110** is globally distinguished among vintage collectors for its strict adherence to Taro Tanaka's **""Grammar of Design""** guidelines. Executed in solid stainless steel, the case features sharp, angular facets and mirror-polished Zaratsu planes with zero visual distortion, creating an aggressive, low-profile silhouette that sits perfectly flush against the wrist.

Immaculate Dial Balance with Applied Quartz Symbol: The dial of the **4822-8110** showcases exemplary mid-century visual restraint, featuring a pristine white or silver canvas decorated with **hand-applied hour markers or Roman numerals** and sharp pencil hands. Symmetrically framed at 3 o'clock is the quick-set date calendar window, proudly adorned with the applied **""SEIKO KING QUARTZ""** branding and the iconic applied **single-crystal quartz emblem** above 6 o'clock.

An Investment-Grade Masterpiece of Daini's Quartz Heritage: Manufactured during the milestone year of **1977**, the 4822-8110 King Quartz remains a highly sought-after cornerstone reference for vintage Seiko purists. Capturing the precise historical moment where Kameido transitioned its legendary King Seiko luxury lineage into ultra-precise quartz engineering, it stands as an eternal heirloom of late-1970s Japanese horological innovation.
