In 2026, Seiko celebrates its 145th anniversary. This limited edition commemorating the milestone features warm gold accents symbolizing success and prosperity. The dial draws inspiration from an intricate pattern that Seiko founder Kintaro Hattori arranged to have engraved on imported pocket watches during the company’s early era.
The King Seiko model’s dial combines a finely embossed pattern with a deep gray gradient, creating a sense of depth and refinement while inviting closer examination. The motif’s delicate beauty is enhanced by a gold-colored logo, hands, and indexes, whose radiant contrast adds elegance and sophistication to the design.
Inspired by the King Seiko 45KCM, born in 1969, this timepiece houses an automatic movement in an exceptionally slim case paired with a multi-row bracelet crafted for superior comfort and wearability. The caseback features an engraved brand mark inspired by the King Seiko “shield” emblem from the 1960s. As a mark of exclusivity, each timepiece’s caseback is engraved with “LIMITED EDITION” and an individual serial number, an enduring testament to its rarity and prestige.
