Long Live The King Seiko VANAC, The Boss Of Japanese Timepieces!

Share on FacebookShare on Whatsapp

It rules! The King Seiko VANAC, a design series born in the 1970s, returns to King Seiko’s collection in 2025 with a sporty new aesthetic.

The watches are powered by Seiko’s latest addition to the 8L movement platform and feature an improved level of accuracy and a longer power reserve. 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.

Rebirth Of The VANAC

In 1972, King Seiko, characterised by its classic designs, launched the VANAC, a series with bright colours and innovative, multifaceted designs.

Today, after over 50 years, a new VANAC inherits the spirit that infused the original, opening up new possibilities for King Seiko.

The case and dial design are inspired by 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. Though the VANAC has a strong and dynamic angularity that makes it look as if it were carved from a block of solid metal, its bezel-less design creates an elegant and thin appearance.

The newly-developed bracelet has been achieved through a combination of links with mirror and hairline finishing, ensuring comfort on the wrist and an unmistakable air of luxury and sophistication.

The dial has a horizontal stripe pattern and indexes that occupy a dedicated ring that is embedded in its surface. The 12 o’clock index and the counterweight on the seconds hand display the striking silhouette of the letter “V,” indicating the first letter of the series’ name.

OMEGA's New Seamaster Diver 300M Models Are Making Us Breathless!

The new movement’s beautiful finishing can be seen through the watch’s sapphire crystal case back. In fact, the new VANAC has the first see-through case back of any King Seiko watch following the collection’s relaunch in 2022. Caliber 8L45 achieves a power reserve of 72 hours thanks to an improved mainspring and 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. Through its combination of high performance and functional beauty, Caliber 8L45 represents the pinnacle of Seiko’s mechanical watch movements.

The new series is offered with dials in purple, navy, and silver tones, with each colour taking inspiration from the Tokyo horizon at a different time of day: evening twilight, midnight, and sunrise.

These three creations will join the main King Seiko collection and will be available from July 2025 at Seiko Boutiques and select retail partners worldwide.

In addition to the three watches joining the main King Seiko collection, one limited edition and one Seiko boutique exclusive will also join the collection. Both the limited edition and boutique exclusive watch feature the same specifications as the three other creations joining the main King Seiko collection.

The limited edition shares the theme of the Tokyo sunrise with one of the watches from the main collection; however, in the limited edition, the theme is expressed through a dial with a golden colour.

The lettering on the dial and the King Seiko logo on the case back also take on a golden hue. This special creation will be available in July 2025 at select Seiko Boutiques and retail stores worldwide as a limited edition of 700.

The dial of the boutique exclusive creation is ice blue, expressing the Tokyo scenery reflecting a clear blue sky on a bright sunny day. This exclusive creation will be available in July 2025 at the Seiko Boutiques worldwide.
