For sale is my rare Seiko Chronometer "Golden Starlight" Gold Cap ref. 5626-7090. To my knowledge this is the original "starlight" dial from Seiko and it is paired with the famous first automatic Hi-Beat cal. 5626 in Chronometer grade. This particular Gold Cap version has a thin gold shroud of 14k yellow gold which is thick enough to be polished unlike plated gold cases. The watch has the original white day wheel in Spanish as well as the original silver date wheel. Currently running a few minutes +/- a day. Caseback says 5626-7090 making this an export model, which is pretty unique. And mismatching 7090/91 serial was common in this model. Features: \-Functions: Chronometer, 3-hands time, day-date \-Materials: Stainless steel C-case w/ 14k gold cap, hesalite domed crystal \-Dimensions: 36mm across, 42mm lug-to-lug-Dial: Seiko "Golden Starlight" dial with polished black hour indicators-Caliber: Cal. 5626 Chronometer-grade \-Power reserve: Approx. 42 hours \-Water Resistance: N/A \-Strap: AM black strap with silver buckle + additional gold buckle Asking $900 shipped in the CONUS.

	Established:	1881
	Website:	http://seikousa.com/index.php
	Country of Origin:	Japan

The company was founded in 1881, when Kintarō Hattori opened a watch and jewelry shop called "K. Hattori" (服部時計店 Hattori Tokeiten?) in the Ginza area of Tokyo, Japan. Eleven years later, in 1892, he began to produce clocks under the name Seikosha (精工舎 Seikōsha?), meaning roughly "House of Exquisite Workmanship". According to Seiko's official company history, titled "A Journey In Time: The Remarkable Story of Seiko" (2003), Seiko is a Japanese word meaning "exquisite" or "success" ("exquisite" is usually written 精巧 from Chinese jīngqiǎo, while the meaning "success" is usually written 成功 from Chinese chénggōng).

Seiko is perhaps best known for its wristwatches, all of which were at one time produced entirely in-house. This includes not only major items such as microgears, motors, hands, crystal oscillators, batteries, sensors, LCDs but also minor items such as the oils used in lubricating the watches and the luminous compounds used on the hands and the dials.
