The King Seiko 5625-7110 was produced between 1971 and 1974. The watch is an evolution from the original ‘grammar of design’ the 5625-7000. The difference is subtle but the lugs are finer and the dial indices slimmer and more refined. Three versions were created during this time with three different case backs. The first iteration was a monocoque case with gold KS medallion, second was a screw back case with KS embossed (no medallion) and the final iteration was again a screw back case with no KS markings at all. Of the three, the first one with the medallion is most sought after.
