Produced for only a few years between 1972 and 1974, the King Seiko Vanac is essentially a regular King Seiko with a few added extras. Vanac's are equipped with unique colored dials, gold plated bezels, and, most notably, the faceted crystal.
This particular watch is a 56KS Vanac model equipped with a lovely green dial. Overall, this watch is in (D) Fair Condition. Minor scratches and scuffs can be seen on the case and bracelet. Moderate scratches can be seen on the crystal, affecting dial visibility. The gold plated bezel shows some major plating wear as well. The crown is also not correct for this watch. The Quickset day and date complication is settable, but the day complication does not advance. Please see all photos.
