Time never forgets greatness - and neither does Seiko.
In 1972, the King Seiko VANAC made a bold departure from the traditional elegance of its predecessors. It was daring, angular, colourful - designed not to whisper luxury but to wear it with confidence. Now, more than 50 years later, Seiko revives this iconic line with fresh vigour, advanced mechanics, and a design language inspired by the ever-changing Tokyo skyline.
At T.H.Baker, we’re proud to welcome three standout King Seiko VANAC models into our curated Seiko collection. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just discovering the refined rebellion of King Seiko, this launch demands your attention.
A New Era for King Seiko VANAC
The 2025 revival of the King Seiko VANAC is no mere nostalgia trip - it’s a masterclass in how to honour the past while engineering the future.
Each timepiece in the new VANAC series captures a unique mood of the Tokyo horizon - that sprawling, cinematic skyline that changes character as day turns into night. From sunrise silver, through twilight purple, to the deep midnight blue, these watches reflect the emotional palette of Tokyo’s shifting skies.
Yet it’s what lies within that sets this collection apart. All models are powered by Seiko’s high-performance 8L45 automatic movement, offering:
- - 72-hour power reserve
- - +10/-5 seconds daily accuracy
- - 35 jewels
- - A robust and beautifully finished engine you can admire through the first-ever see-through case back in a King Seiko since the collection's 2022 relaunch.
The angular, bezel-less stainless-steel case and uniquely patterned dial bring a crisp, modern edge, while the short-pitch bracelet ensures comfort and a refined feel on the wrist.
Seiko King Seiko VANAC ‘Tokyo Twilight’
Bathed in a deep violet hue, the ‘Tokyo Twilight’ edition captures that dreamy space between day and night. Its horizontally striped dial and signature “V” silhouette index at 12 o’clock are standout features, giving it a rich visual texture and a collector’s appeal.
