Seiko King Seiko VANAC "EveningTwilight" Automatic – SLA083

The King Seiko VANAC makes a triumphant return, over 50 years after its initial launch, blending modern mechanical precision with the bold, angular aesthetics that first set it apart. Originally introduced in 1972, the VANAC series was known for its vibrant colors and multifaceted designs. Today’s reimagined VANAC pays homage to its heritage while embracing contemporary craftsmanship, opening a new chapter for King Seiko.

Inspired by the breathtaking Tokyo horizon, this new edition captures the essence of a city that never sleeps—where the skyline shifts in color and character throughout the day. The watch’s case, appearing as if sculpted from solid metal, features a dynamic yet refined structure with a bezel-less design, creating a sleek, sophisticated profile. Its distortion-free mirror finish enhances its presence, playing with light and shadow to striking effect.

The dial features a distinguished horizontal stripe pattern, while its unique “V”-shaped index at 12 o’clock and counterweighted seconds hand pay tribute to the VANAC’s iconic name. The newly developed bracelet, with its blend of polished and hairline-finished links, offers a luxurious feel and exceptional comfort.

Beneath its elegant exterior, the VANAC houses Seiko’s high-performance Caliber 8L45, delivering 72 hours of power reserve with remarkable accuracy. For the first time in King Seiko history, a see-through sapphire case back reveals the movement, showcasing its fine craftsmanship. Available in purple, navy, and silver, each dial reflects a different phase of Tokyo’s skyline—capturing evening twilight, midnight, and sunrise.

With its blend of heritage, precision, and contemporary design, the King Seiko VANAC SLA083 is more than a timepiece—it’s a statement of enduring style and sophistication.
