The 45KS was introduced in 1968 with the brand knew 4500 caliber designed by Dani Seikosha. It featured an angular case with sharp edges with a reference number 45-7000. The 4500 movement was designed as a hi-beat successor to the 4400 series of movements. It is a manual wind caliber that ticks at 36,000 beats per hour, or 10 times per second. In 1971, a new case design was released, 45-7010. It featured a more conventional oval shaped case with a brushed finish but houses the same great 4500 series movement. The 45KS was the last of the 36,000 hi-beat movements from Daini and the last hand-built King Seiko.

The watch is in (B) Very Good condition. The dial has a wonderful chocolate patina from age. Very striking and unique. This watch has 4 service date codes written on the inside of the caseback starting with the digits 47, 49, 52, and 53. These likely refer to the corresponding years of the Showa Era in Japan. This means the watch was last serviced in 1978. Nevertheless, this watch is keeping excellent time at +/- 0 seconds per day.
