King Seiko VANAC 'Tokyo Horizon' Limited Edition

This timepiece is limited to 700 pieces worldwide.

In the 1960s, King Seiko timepieces led Seiko Watch Corporation’s developments in world-leading technical precision. ‘King Seiko’ originated when multiple Seiko watchmakers created different watches to encourage innovation – one of the Japanese watch brand’s constant aims.

In 2025, the new King Seiko VANAC channels Seiko archive inspiration from the iconic 1970s collection of the same name. Since Tokyo was the birthplace of King Seiko, the design theme of the modern VANAC is centred around this world-renowned metropolis through ‘Tokyo Horizon;’ a series of watches expressing the city of Tokyo stretching out over the skyline. The gold-coloured dial on this limited edition piece is inspired by sunrise over the Tokyo cityscape and it features the Seiko logo in gold tone on the dial and the King Seiko in gold-colour on the exhibition caseback.

The VANAC name is an acronym of its original design features: V for a ‘Vibrant case design;’ A for ‘Active lifestyle’ – for both formal and informal occasions; N for ‘Novel dial ring’ – its angular edges resembling a metropolis cityscape; A for ‘Alternative dial design’ – a 3-dimensional dial design inspired by the horizon; C for ‘Comfortable bracelet’ – a short-pitch length bracelet, completed with a mirror and hairline finish.

Powered by the new in-house built 8L45 mechanical calibre, it has been crafted with the highest accuracy of Seiko mechanical movements – accurate to +10/-5 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.
