We start the month of February with a watch feature. My collection includes this King Seiko also from my birth year of 1972. Hi-Beat here stands for 36,000 bph. Of course, I prefer this to the hi-beat Lord Marvel models. The latter were the first to come out but I guess the movements on the KS is the more refined ones?

| This King Seiko also has that simple yet elegant design found in the KS 44 model |

| The watch's 4502A movement is in great condition |

| The watch the first time I wore it after fitting it with a Hirsch leather strap |
The watch lasts about 43 hours on a full wind. That is not at all bad for a 46-year old watch. I have also observed it to be gaining only a few seconds per day so it is still a very reliable piece.

Note: This watch is also no longer with me. I unloaded it late last year along with the 44KS. I still have one 4502 - a gold-plated one that I have put on the market but so far had no takers. [4/6/2020].
