Watch Performance and Design
The
5626-7010
is powered by the Suwa-manufactured Caliber 5626A, an automatic movement that was one of the thinnest available at its introduction.
Movement Specs: It operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour (vph), which qualifies as a high-beat rate. The 25-jewel movement includes hacking seconds, manual hand-winding capabilities, and a 46-hour power reserve.
Case Design: This reference features an iconic cushion-shaped case made of stainless steel. It is a monobloc (one-piece) type, meaning it is opened by removing the bezel and crystal from the front rather than having a traditional screw-back.
Aesthetic Details: The watch includes a Silver Sunburst dial with applied deco U shaped indexes and a Hardlex crystal. A signature gold KS medallion in good condition is found on the case back.
Dimensions: Technical data lists the case diameter at approximately 37.5mm to 38mm with a thickness of roughly 10.5mm and a lug width of 18mm.
