Introducing
Seiko Bell-Matic 4006-6040 "King"
Circa 1977
Gold drives a man mad. It gives the delusion of power, and men hoard the gold and think themselves kings. They surround themselves with riches and watch time go past, each stack of the shimmering metal putting them further and further away from the edge.
This magnificent offering has one of the loveliest dials I've ever come across. So many layers of gold it's mesmerizing!
From the outer alarm bezel to the minute track and , hour batons, outer guilloche ring, center of the dial, and down to the hands. This baby is shiny!
And all the riches, held safe in the dome of an acrylic crystal, classic one-link bracelet keeping it strapped to your wrist.
Almost too good to let go.
