King Seiko Automatic – SPB285

The modern re-interpretation of the classic King Seiko watch, renowned for its angular elegance, pays homage to the original's technical innovation while infusing it with contemporary features. The watch boasts a slim profile with a mere 10.33mm case thickness, crafted from stainless steel reminiscent of the original's mirror and hairline finish. Its 6R31 automatic movement operates at 21,600 vibrations per hour, ensuring accuracy, and offers a substantial 70-hour power reserve along with manual winding capability. The brown sunray dial is adorned with meticulously cut three-dimensional indices, including a unique 12 o'clock marker. The box-shaped crystal, featuring anti-reflective coating on the inner surface, enhances visibility. The King Seiko crest graces the caseback and crown, a subtle nod to its heritage. With water resistance up to 100 meters (10 bar), the watch accommodates various activities. The tri-fold push-button release clasp ensures a secure fit. This re-interpretation amalgamates classic design with contemporary technology, resulting in an exquisite timepiece that captures the essence of King Seiko's legacy while appealing to modern sensibilities.

The “King Seiko” is a 1965 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.
