New King Seiko watches offer seventy -three days of power

Fast summary

The new King Seiko Vanac collection offers a retro-chic watch with an impressive variety of dials.

That is combined with a very good movement inside, the best of the best and the new.

Fashion is an old and funny place. We are constantly looking back, desperate to reinvent the history of new ways: it’s called retro-chic, honey, look for it. That even extends to those who design the best watches out there.

Good, Seiko I clearly received the message. The brand has just presented the beautiful King Seiko Vanac collection, and is positively dripping over the seventies.

Just from the beginning, you will find angular case and integrated -looking bracelets. That is in a trend at this time, with everything, from the Christopher Ward the twelve and the Tissot Prx toward Citizen Series 8 and the Patek Philippe Cubito offering watches in a similar line.

However, the new pieces of King Seiko are not just to look back. Inside, the movement is one of the most precise Seiko producers, which offers +10/-5 seconds of precision per day. That also includes a fresh three -day energy reserve, which allows it to leave it out of the wrist for a few days without fear that it will be left without juice.

They also enjoy some seriously good dials. Each of the five models offered by a central disc with horizontal ribs. That is surrounded by a ring that houses the indices and the date window.

Five color variants are offered, each inspired by the changing tones of the Tokyo horizon throughout the day. Those are:

Tokyo Twilight
Tokyo midnight
Sunrise de Tokyo
Tokyo horizon
Bright Tokyo Sunlight

My group choice is the Tokyo Twilight model shown at the top of the page. He packs a beautiful purple tone in his case, which combines perfectly with quotes with golden tones. You will lose hours looking at that.

Also remember very well to Seiko Cocktail Time Star Bar model that we cover last year. That simply oozed Magenta, and it is also something we see in this model.

It is also worth noting that the variant of the Tokyo horizon is a limited edition model, with only 700 pieces produced worldwide. Those who seek to hook the brilliant sunlight version of Tokyo will have to go to the Seiko boutique in New Bond Street, London, where the model is available exclusively.

With a price of £ 2,900 (approximately $ 3,750 / au $ 6,000) these are certainly not the cheapest watches you will find. Even so, they are incredibly together, and they will surely attract some attention.
