SEIKO KING QUARTZ LONG LIFE 4821-8000 | JAPAN | 1976 | OSCAR by BAMBI For sale is a Seiko King Quartz Long Life ref. 4821-8000, manufactured in Japan in 1976. This is one of the more interesting and less commonly seen references from the King Quartz line, one of Seiko's higher-end quartz ranges of the 1970s. The 4821 model features the desirable no-date configuration, giving the dial a clean, balanced and elegant appearance. The watch is powered by the reliable Seiko 4821A Long Life quartz movement and features a beautiful original silver textured dial with applied Arabic numerals. Compared to the more common baton-index King Quartz models, this dial configuration is seen far less frequently and gives the watch a distinctive dress-watch character. The watch presents very well for its age. The case retains its original shape and sharp lines, the dial remains clean and attractive, and the watch is fitted with its original King Quartz signed crown. Specifications: • Brand: Seiko • Model: King Quartz Long Life • Reference: 4821-8000 • Year: 1976 • Movement: Seiko 4821A Quartz • Country of manufacture: Japan • Case material: Stainless steel • Crystal: Hardlex • Case diameter: approx. 36 mm excluding crown • Original textured silver dial • Original King Quartz signed crown The watch is fitted with an original vintage Oscar by Bambi stainless steel bracelet. Bambi was a well-known manufacturer of quality watch bracelets and their products were frequently paired with Seiko watches during the 1970s and 1980s. The bracelet suits the watch perfectly and complements its period-correct appearance. Please note that the Oscar by Bambi bracelet is very short and will only fit a small wrist. For this reason, I am also including a second stainless steel mesh bracelet of standard length, allowing the watch to be comfortably worn on larger wrists. The buyer therefore receives both the original collectible Oscar by Bambi vintage bracelet and an additional full-size mesh bracelet for everyday wear. Case, dial, caseback and crown are consistent with the reference. The watch is sold exactly as shown in the photographs.
