King Seiko VANAC
More than 50 years after its launch, the King Seiko VANAC is reborn with a new mechanical movement and a strong, angular design.
In 1972, King Seiko, characterized by its classic designs, launched the VANAC series, with its bright colors and innovative, multifaceted designs. Today, a new VANAC inherits the spirit that infused the original, opening up new possibilities for King Seiko.
Design
Inspired by the vast city where King Seiko was born, a metropolis that appears to extend endlessly into the distance, the theme for the new creations is the Tokyo horizon, a vista renowned for its depictions in art, film, and popular culture whose rich expressions change depending on the time of day.
Movement
The new mechanical movement combines an extended power reserve with stable precision, offering exceptional performance and reliability.

Caliber 8L45Caliber 8L45 achieves a power reserve of 72 hours thanks to an improved mainspring, and it has an accuracy of +10 to −5 seconds per day. It was engineered to have the robustness and other qualities demanded of movements that power modern-day mechanical sports watches. The movement features exquisite wave patterns on the rotor and bridges, adding a touch of luxury and refinement to its design. Through its combination of high performance and functional beauty, Caliber 8L45 represents the pinnacle of Seiko’s mechanical watch movements. |
Color
The new series is offered with dials in purple, navy, and silver tones, with each color taking inspiration from the Tokyo horizon at a different time of day: evening twilight, midnight, and sunrise. These watches join the main King Seiko collection.
