Produced exclusively for the Japanese market, the Vanac line was known for its vibrant dials, faceted crystals, and unusually ornate indices. This 5256-6000 model is powered by the highly refined 5256 automatic movement, a mid-range hi-beat caliber developed in Daini Seikosha with quickset functionality and excellent reliability. The brown-bronze sunburst dial, combined with the signature gold and silver block indices, exemplifies the Vanac aesthetic - daring, elegant, and distinctly 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\" style=\"direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed; margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; vertical-align: middle;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003eReference:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003e 5256-6000\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; vertical-align: middle;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003eSerial Number:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003e 410XXX\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; vertical-align: middle;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003eProduction Date:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003e January 1974\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; vertical-align: middle;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003eMovement:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003e Seiko 5256 automatic, 28,800 bph, day-date (English\/Kanji), quickset\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; vertical-align: middle;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003eCase Material:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003e Stainless steel\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; vertical-align: middle;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003eCase Diameter:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003e Approx. 36 mm (38 mm including crown)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; vertical-align: middle;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003eDial:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003e Original brown-bronze sunburst with gold\/silver applied indices\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; vertical-align: middle;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003e New, scratch-free acrylic\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; vertical-align: middle;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003eBracelet:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003e Original Seiko stainless steel bracelet, fits up to approx. 17.5 cm wrist\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; margin-left: .375in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003eThis KS Special Vanac is in excellent condition and fully serviced.
