King Seiko was created in the 1960s – a famous decade for fashion in Japan, as much as the rest of the world and this trio of watches is inspired by the Japanese Sixties clean cut blazer-and-chinos trend. In Tokyo’s Ginza, people met on Miyuki Street in oxford shirts, cropped khaki trousers, and penny loafers – a style influenced by 1950s American preppy ivy-league collegiate outfits.

Under a box-sapphire crystal glass is a light blue dial, with sharp Dauphine-style hands. Three-dimensionally cut batons, a sharp angular case style, and the finishing ensures maximum light reflection. With an interchangeable bracelet design, this compact 36mm piece allows for easier bracelet and strap customisability.

Powered by an in-house automatic 6R51 movement, this timepiece is accurate to +25/-15 seconds per day, with a three day power reserve.

Long live the new King Seiko: modernised elite watchmaking, yet its stately, dignified and majestically classic looks remain.
