A King reborn, an icon reestablished, and a celebration well deserved. Reviving a 1965 classic in celebration of its 140th anniversary, Seiko brings back a monarch worthy timepiece with a re-creation of the second series of King Seiko. Known as the King Seiko KSK, this historical recreation celebrates the milestone that is 140-years since the foundation of Seiko.

Alongside the Grand Seiko, its graceful design and high-quality construction are matched only by its high-accuracy and precision. Now reborn for an entirely new generation, celebrate this great company’s history with the King Seiko.

Four years after its introduction, Seiko unveiled the King Seiko KSK in 1965. Powered by a manual-winding 25 jewel caliber, the watch signified a departure in traditional timepiece design for the Japanese watchmaker.

Contrasting the original’s gentle rounded contours, the iconic KSK edition countered with a strikingly sharper shape that was both angular and contemporary.

Catching the light thanks to its flat surfaces and multi-faceted corners, this modern recreation brings the same eye-catching design that quickly made it a much-demanded watch for Japan’s fast-growing number of watch fans.

Combining the same flat dial with faceted indexes and broad, sharp hands, Seiko re-creates the refined elegance of the original through bold faceted lugs alongside large flat Zaratsu polished planes and razor-sharp angles. At twelve o’clock, wearers will find a similar bright sparkle as the first KSK, created by the intricately faceted design method.

Flip it over, and you’ll find a case back that carries the King Seiko name and the same shield design as the original. Utterly faithful to every aspect of the original design, even with an automatic movement and the addition of a date window, the 140th anniversary King Seiko KSK retains a slim profile that is only 0.5mm thicker than the original thanks to the thinness of Caliber 6L35.
