King Seiko Automatic – SPB283

The King Seiko Modern Re-Interpretation is a contemporary take on the 1960s classic. Its slim 10.33mm case houses the 6R31 automatic movement, offering accuracy with a 21,600 vibrations per hour frequency, a 70-hour power reserve, and manual winding. The sunray dial in dark charcoal boasts 3D indices, with a distinctively carved 12 o'clock marker. The anti-reflective-coated box-shaped crystal enhances legibility. Crafted in stainless steel, the case features mirror and hairline finishing, echoing the original design, complete with the King Seiko crest on the caseback and crown. The tri-fold push button release clasp ensures security, while the 10 bar (100 meters) water resistance adds versatility. This reinterpretation harmonizes classic elegance and modern functionality for watch enthusiasts.

The “King Seiko” is a1965 classic reborn. The sixties were significant for Seiko in development and design. Alongside Grand Seiko, King Seiko was produced delivering precision, and powerful yet graceful designs that highlighted the quality of construction. This re-imagined mechanical dress watch features the same graceful design elements as the original. The use of sharp, bold faceted lugs that feature flat planes and Zaratsu polish pay homage to the original. The combination of the flat dial, faceted indexes, and broad sharp hands re-creates the refined elegance of the 1965 KSK.
