Bring your vintage Seiko back to life with this original metal date quickset rocker lever, part number 981560. Designed specifically to fix the common calendar quickset failure in classic 56 King Seiko and 56 Grand Seiko watches (when the crown fails to advance the date), this genuine component replaces the fragile plastic gears that degrade over time, even when unused. Choosing this durable metal version offers peace of mind and keeps your crown mechanism working smoothly.

The 56KS and 56GS series represent a celebrated era of Japanese watchmaking from the late 1960s and 1970s. Both King Seiko and Grand Seiko pushed the boundaries of accuracy and craftsmanship, leaving behind iconic mechanical timepieces loved by collectors worldwide. Keeping these vintage classics in working order requires authentic, reliable replacement parts like this one.

This listing is for one genuine secondhand metal part. It is in good overall condition, though it shows minor signs of age such as slight metal discoloration and fine scratches from long-term storage.
