I tried to summarise all the King Seiko data from Seiko JDM catalogs 1968-1975. The result is kingseiko.info, where you can find data about all 158 King Seiko models (or 105 models, if you don't like to count VANAC). In a moment more or less complete data are on JDM catalog models. Some oval/cushion King Seikos not presented in catalogs are still missing. And all the export versions are missing too. But they were no KS labelled. This is just a first draft online and for sure many errors are hiding there. The design can be better, for sure. Anyway, all the comments and suggestions are welcome! |

That looks like a super resource, thanks for taking the time to put it all together. Must have been a real labour of love.

Still being very proud of taming this monster, I can't let go this opportunity to show it again. As it was introduced and discontinued in 1975, I think it may be called the last King Seiko - the 5256-8000.  |

Just learned about the changing of the reference number to end in a "1" for long-running models.
This site is an absolute Treasure ! Thanks again for assembling it  |
