IN GOOD VINTAGE CONDITION — KEEPS ACCURATE TIME
Historical & Horological Context
This elegant timepiece hails from the early 1970s, an era defined by bold geometric shapes and avant-garde designs. Longines, renowned for its rich history of precision and classic elegance, created this striking dress piece. Over the last 50 years, the original glossy black dial has aged phenomenally, developing a breathtaking, uniform natural "stardust" (confetti) patina that mimics a starry night sky. This completely untouched dial is accented by four genuine diamond hour markers at the cardinal points. Powering this piece is the ultra-slim, high-grade in-house Longines Caliber 528 manual-wind movement, a testament to the brand's traditional Swiss watchmaking mastery before the quartz crisis. With its distinctive TV-screen style silhouette and integrated aesthetic, it is a unique 1-of-1 collector's piece that beautifully captures the sophistication of 1970s luxury.

HISTORICAL AND HOROLOGICAL CONTEXT
This exceptional timepiece represents a critical post-war milestone in the history of Japanese watchmaking. Following the devastation of World War II, the Kameido factory was initially non-operational, leading Seikosha to restart production via its Suwa facility in 1946 with the New 10A movement.
By 1948, the Kameido factory resumed operations, producing the celebrated Kameido New 10B, also known colloquially as the Kameido Shinto. This watch is a definitive final-phase iteration of that recovery era, manufactured in February 1955.
While 7-jewel variants of this caliber account for roughly 60% of total production, top-grade 15-jewel executions like this one are incredibly rare, representing only about 10% of the total output. Crucially, this specific movement features the highly desirable 3 ADJ (Three Adjustments) factory tuning, making it a premium high-precision chronometer-grade execution for its day.
It showcases high-end vintage movement finishing, including a nickel-rhodium plated bridge plate, a square-hole wheel, a round-hole wheel with a one-way decorative groove, and gold engraving on the receiver plate. This timepiece stands as a true foundation stone from which the global legacy of modern SEIKO was built, making it an incredibly scarce find for serious collectors of historical horology, especially in its pristine dead stock condition.
DETAILED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Brand and Model: SEIKO Kameido New 10B (Shinto / Post-War First Milestone Late Model)
Movement / Caliber: Seikosha New 10B, Top-Grade Factory 3 Adjustments (3 ADJ.)
Movement Type: Mechanical manual-wind, sub-second, without seconds hacking mechanism
Jewels: 15 Jewels (Highly rare top-tier adjusted execution)
Frequency: 18,000 vph (5 beats per second / Vintage Low-beat)
Power Reserve: Approximately 36-38 hours (when fully wound)
Case Material: Stainless Steel (SS Back / Snap-back case with the iconic early-period crane engraving, reference number 13030)
Case Dimensions: Length approx. 37mm including lugs / Width approx. 31mm excluding crown / Thickness approx. 10mm
Lug Width: Approx. 16mm
Weight: 28g
Crystal: High-grade Acrylic / Plexiglass
Dial and Hands: Two-step two-tone circle sector dial with a gold floating S logo, large wedge hour markers, flying Arabic numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock. Gold-tone leaf/alpha hands and a circular-grained sub-second register at 6 o'clock.
Band/Strap and Buckle: Paired with an authentic, period-correct late 1940s dead stock brown leather stitched strap (showing minor signs of age from storage) with a classic steel pin buckle.
CONDITION REPORT
Cosmetic Condition: This watch is preserved in astonishing New Old Stock / Dead Stock condition. The stainless steel case and snap-back crane-engraved case back are incredibly crisp with sharp factory lines, displaying only minor, negligible storage and handling marks over its 70-year lifespan. The acrylic crystal remains beautifully clear. The original two-tone sector dial and gold hands are exceptionally clean, showcasing a stunning, uniform light vintage ivory patina that confirms its 100% original, untouched state.
Mechanical Condition: The movement functions beautifully. Time setting operates smoothly and the sub-seconds hand runs continuously with excellent amplitude. It is currently maintaining an excellent daily rate accuracy of approximately plus/minus 30 seconds per day, which is outstanding for an unshock-protected movement from this era.
Service History: Fully overhauled and serviced recently. The inner case back bears a professional horological service signature dated October 17, 2023 (2023.10.17). Please note that because this mechanical movement is approximately 70 years old, it contains no modern shock protection and must be handled with appropriate care.
BOX AND PAPERS
Accessories: Full vintage presentation set. Includes a genuine, rare late-model SEIKO manufacturer's high-end storage case featuring gold embroidery inside velvet lining, alongside its original outer paper protective box (both showing light, authentic signs of age).
No papers.
