Summary
- Seiko expands King Seiko Vanac with three titanium models: HKF001 (purple), HKF002 (gray) and HKF003 (black)
- Releasing in July, each features 41mm bezel-less titanium cases, dynamic dial patterns, and caliber 8L45 movement
Seiko has expanded its King Seiko Vanac lineup with three new titanium references – HKF001, HKF002 and HKF003. The new models continue the revival of the line first introduced in 1972 and relaunched just last year.
Offered in vibrant purple (HKF001), sleek gray (HKF002) and classic black (HKF003), the new models are housed in 41mm titanium cases with a bezel-less design, complete wiht a thickness of 14.3mm. Each variant draws inspiration from Tokyo’s urban skyline, presenting unique dial patterns that combine horizontal lines with radial rays extending from the center. A subtle yet distinct detail can be found on the seconds hand, which terminates in a “V” shape, serving as both a functional arrow and a clever nod to the Vanac name.
Inside, the watches are powered by Seiko’s caliber 8L45, a high-end mechanical movement. The movement offers a 72-hour power reserve and accuracy of +10/-5 seconds per day, visible through a sapphire caseback decorated with a wave motif on the oscillating weight and bridges. Each model comes fitted with a matching titanium bracelet, ensuring comfort and durability while maintaining a lightweight profile.
The King Seiko Vanac titanium trio will be released in July at Seiko boutiques and select retail partners worldwide, with a retail price of £3,400 GBP/ $3,850 USD each.
