King Seiko Vanac Limited Edition SLA089

In 1972, King Seiko, characterized by its classic designs, launched the VANAC, a watch with bright colors and an innovative, multifaceted design that was unique at the time. Today, after over 50 years, the new VANAC inherits the spirit that infused the original, opening up new possibilities for King Seiko.

Inspired by the vast city where King Seiko was born, a metropolis that appears to extend endlessly into the distance, the theme for the new creations is the Tokyo horizon, a vista renowned for its depictions in art, film, and popular culture whose rich expressions change depending on the time of day.

Though the case has a strong and dynamic angularity that makes it look as if it were carved from a block of solid metal, its bezel-less design creates an elegant and thin appearance.
The case’s distortion-free mirror finish, achieved through advanced polishing techniques, creates dynamic shadows and highlights, exuding a striking presence.

The dial has a horizontal stripe pattern and indexes that occupy a dedicated ring that is embedded in the dial. The 12 o’clock index and the counterweight on the seconds hand each display the striking silhouette of the letter “V,” indicating the first letter of the series’ name.

The newly developed bracelet has been achieved through the combination of links with mirror and hairline finishing, ensuring comfort on the wrist and an unmistakable air of luxury and sophistication.

The new VANAC has the first see-through case back of any King Seiko watch following the collection’s relaunch in 2022, and the King Seiko “shield” returns, elegantly expressed on the sapphire crystal case back.

The watches are equipped with the new Caliber 8L45, Seiko's most precise mechanical movement in production, achieving a stable accuracy range of +10 to -5 seconds per day.
