Precision Timekeeping and Stunning Aesthetic


The reintroduction of the King Seiko has seen a variety of dial colorways and leather strap options, making it one of the most customizable pieces in the collection. 


Offered in a 37mm and a 39mm, the King Seiko boasts a wide acclaim for gender-neutral watches and makes an excellent gift due to it's thin case-back and butterfly-clasp bracelet. 

"Faithful in design to the original but completely up-to date in technology"

Inspired by the 1960's heritage watchmaking, the 6L35 movement blends into a sleek, high shine case with a curved shape and ultra-slim fit (coming in at 9.9mm thick).


"The multi-faceted index at twelve o’clock is designed with a pattern that evokes the feather fletching of an arrow, a feature familiar from traditional Japanese archery." 

Limited Edition Seiko Watch
2024 revived the classic design and offers a stunning array of colors in a new caseback style.

The new series is offered with silver, purple, and green dials, and a special Limited Edition blue dial. 


Designed to evoke the modern city skylines of Tokyo, the birthplace of the King Seiko in the 60's. 


The purple dial is inspired from a traditional Japanese color known as “Edo purple,” referencing back to the Edo period, one of the most peaceful and cherished eras in Japanese history. 


The green dial features a mystical and inspiring gradient of shades that captures the greenery and forestry that has covered parts of the city over the centuries.
