Seiko King Seiko Chronometer 5626-7170 owners praise its rare grey and "Superior Chronometer" dials for their depth and sunburst finishing, which are best appreciated in person. The 36mm case is noted to wear slightly larger due to its lugs. The 5626 movement is recognized as a higher-grade chronometer-adjusted caliber than the 5606, keeping accurate time. A known issue with the 5626 movement is the quick-set date function's susceptibility to failure due to a plastic part, with no replacement part developments reported. On balance, owners value the Seiko King Seiko Chronometer 5626-7170 for its distinctive dial finishing and chronometer-grade movement, despite the potential date function issue.
