The watch

Seiko King Quartz from 1976 in excellent condition. It features a textured dial inspired by traditional Japanese tatami mats, one of the coolest dials when it comes to vintage Seiko.

Both the hammered-finish case and the original AR-coated crystal remain in excellent shape. The bracelet is light and loose-fitting and can be easily adjusted to fit most wrist sizes. The day display can be displayed in Japanese Kanji and English.

The watch has been inspected by a watchmaker and fitted with a new battery and battery hatch gasket (October 2025).

Details
In the sweltering heat of Daini Seikosha's Tokyo workshops during the summer of 1974, engineers worked over circuit boards no larger than a postage stamp. They pursued the quartz dream Seiko ignited four years earlier with the Astron, the world's first quartz wristwatch. This was not about raw power but precision on a budget. The result was the Caliber 0853, a high-grade analog quartz movement for the King Quartz line, Seiko's upscale tribute to the mechanical past in a quartz future.

The 0853 was a feat of miniaturization: a 32.768 kHz tuning-fork resonator, the heartbeat of quartz accuracy, vibrated to divide time into 10 beats per second, surpassing the 5 beats of Seiko's earlier Cal. 39 series. Integrated circuits, etched with micrometer precision, controlled the stepping motor driving the analog hands, while a date-and-day wheel advanced at midnight. Powered by a single silver-oxide battery (SR44), it offered monthly accuracy of plus or minus 10 seconds, modest today but revolutionary for an affordable luxury watch, outpacing many Swiss automatics reliant on balance wheels and escapements.

By 1975, the 0853 powered the first King Quartz models. The 0853B variant appeared by late 1976 with minor tweaks for smoother operation. It remained a workhorse in watches priced up to a million yen until the King Quartz line ended in 1985, overtaken by twin-quartz models boasting 20 seconds per year.

Good start to a series
Format: Kindle
I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5

A good read
Format: Kindle
Multiple points of view. 3 Alpha men and an Omega male. She is a Beta in training for a new program placing betas in Alpha/Omega packs. Mila is only doing the program for the money to take care of her dad. She wasn't expecting to fall for a pack but when she sees this packs Omega she is done for. There is just something about him. His Alphas are good looking as well. Too bad she is hiding a secret and their government is acting shady. I liked it and can't wait to see where their story goes.

Slightly repetitive but I did love some things
Format: Kindle
I love this type of story. And omegaverse is one of my all time favorite genres. But there are a few things that pulled me out of my enjoyment while I was reading. It was repetitive at times as well as struggled with telling not showing. So we didn’t always feel like we were experiencing things with the main character. There were also some plot holes but they may still be answered in part 2. Now this isn’t to be said I didn’t enjoy parts of the story. I loved the almost instant love between Mila and Oliver. And how he started changing around her.

not bad
Format: Kindle
I loved the plot of this book. The characters just didn’t have a lot of depth. The connections and “love” just weren’t communicated very well in the writing. The author didn’t write the sweet psycho trope very well at all either. Lachlan was just a mess of a character.
