These are two of my favourite watches. I love this case style, both for its shape and scratch resistance. Aside from the Day-Date/Time-Only difference, there subtle variations, too, in the dials and hands that are interesting to notice.

The references are 5621-7000 (1969), and 5626-7070 (1970).

Thanks for looking

Those are awesome Adam. I am a Seiko diver fan but I would wear either one of those with pride. I also dig the case shape.

Thanks guys

Here are the casebacks, showing the gold medallions in place (these are often missing with King Seiko models of this era, or replaced with replicas). The cases are monobloc, meaning the movements can only be accessed by removing the crystal and dial. There is, however, a small screw for regulating the movement located between the lugs.

Are they 36,000 or 28,800 BPH movements?
