Seiko Watch will release three regular models of the new dress watch series “KS1969” from King Seiko and one limited edition model commemorating the 100th anniversary of the SEIKO brand on July 6. The commemorative model is limited to 700 pieces worldwide (including 300 pieces in Japan), priced at 396,000 yen each.
King Seiko will be revived in 2022 for the first time in about 50 years, and will continue to present a new way of being as a domestic mechanical wristwatch, according to the flagship brand. Following the “KSK series” introduced at the time of its revival, the new “KS1969 series” will be based on the iconic model launched in 1969.
Equipped with the thinnest automatic movement “Caliber 6L35,” the thinnest of the current models, the case is 9.9 mm thick, and the multi-row bracelet, developed based on the King Seiko of the 1970s, has a combination of mirror and hairline finish that reflects light when worn, giving it a high quality sparkle. The bracelet is made of a thin, thin, and lightweight material.
The regular models (SDKA017/019/021) come in three dial colors: silver, purple, and green, inspired by Tokyo, the birthplace of King Seiko. The silver dial with its distinctive stamped pattern represents a cityscape, the purple dial represents the traditional color Edo purple, and the green dial with its gradation of colors represents a lush green city.
The motif of the limited edition model (SDKA023) is a dragon, the Chinese zodiac sign for the year 2024, with the aim of continuing to make great strides in the next 100 years. The dial is decorated with a pattern of dragon scales and a light blue-green color like a clear stream.
The index at 12 o’clock on both models has a multi-faceted cut that resembles the “arrow feather” of an arrow flying straight toward its target.
In addition, to commemorate the launch of this series, a new advertising visual of Shohei Otani wearing SDKA017 is released. The “Shohei Otani Bobblehead Campaign” will begin on June 7, 2012, with purchasers of King Seiko watches receiving original goods.
Eligible stores are Seiko Flagship Salon, Seiko Dream Square, Seiko Boutique, Seiko Watch Salon, and Seiko Online Store.
