Seiko King Seiko VANAC "Midnight" Automatic – SLA085

Experience the rebirth of a legend. More than 50 years after its debut, the King Seiko VANAC returns, blending timeless heritage with modern innovation. First introduced in 1972, the VANAC series was known for its vibrant colors and striking multifaceted designs. Today, this new interpretation continues that bold legacy, drawing inspiration from the Tokyo skyline—a horizon that shifts in beauty from dusk to dawn.

The case, meticulously crafted with strong, angular lines, appears as if carved from solid metal. Yet, its bezel-less design lends an elegant, refined silhouette. Advanced polishing techniques create a distortion-free mirror finish, capturing dynamic light and shadow to enhance its commanding presence.

The midnight-blue dial features a horizontal stripe pattern, with raised indexes set within a dedicated ring. A distinctive “V” motif at the 12 o’clock marker and the seconds hand counterweight subtly honor the VANAC name. The newly developed bracelet, combining mirror and hairline finishes, ensures both comfort and sophistication.

For the first time in the modern King Seiko collection, the VANAC features a sapphire crystal see-through case back, showcasing the precision-engineered Caliber 8L45 movement. This automatic mechanical movement delivers a 72-hour power reserve and an accuracy of +10 to -5 seconds per day, ensuring unwavering reliability.

With dials inspired by Tokyo’s skyline at twilight, midnight, and sunrise, this timepiece is more than a watch—it’s a statement of elegance, innovation, and enduring craftsmanship.
