Seiko Introduces Three New King Seiko Models, Plus a Special Edition
Continuing its celebration of 110 years of wristwatchmaking, Seiko is introducing three new King Seiko executions and a special edition. In 1913, Kintaro Hattori introduced the first Japanese wristwatch christened the “Laurel”. The traditional brand announced earlier this year that 2023 will see a host of special edition timepieces commemorating this milestone event.
With its eye-catching dial, the Seiko Watchmaking 110th Anniversary King Seiko Limited Edition takes center stage. The dark brown gradient watch face, covered by a box-shaped sapphire crystal, is inspired by an ancient Japanese geometric pattern known as Kikkoumon, which mimics the hexagonal shape of a tortoise shell. The design is a nod to the 1960s origins of King Seiko, which was born at a facility in the Kameido section of Tokyo, once known as Kameshima, an area bounded by rivers and streams and called ?Tortoise Island.?
Water-resistant to 100 meters and protected against magnetic fields up to 4,800 A/m, the stainless steel case measures 37.0 x 12.1 mm and is characterized by the signature bold lugs with pronounced angles and white flat surfaces, all with mirror and hairline finishing. Limited to 1,200 pieces, the Reference SPB365 is powered by the tried-and-tested self-winding movement 6R31 with a power reserve of 70 hours and a stop seconds function.
