With an understated refinement rooted in Japanese aesthetics, this piece radiates timeless beauty and continues to shine across generations. BRAND King Seiko was first developed in August 1961 at the Kameido-based Daini Seikosha (Second Seiko Factory) as a high-grade wristwatch positioned just below the Grand Seiko. It remains an indispensable part of Seiko’s watchmaking heritage and a true classic among vintage Japanese timepieces. SEIKO
