For sale is a Seiko 5245-6010.
Multiple King Seiko Chronometer Special were produced in early 70s with the 5245-6010 being one of the rarer ones.
The 5245-6010 set itself apart from the rest by having an acrylic crystal instead of mineral and a sharper case as compare to the more commonly available 5246-6000.

Produced by Seiko's Daini factory, the 5200 series calibres are high end automatic watch movement produced as their last attempt in winning the competition against the Suwa factory.
Other than its superior accuracy, the calibre 5245 also feature instant date change which is highly celebrated by fellow collectors.
