King Seiko launches a new creation SJ SJE095, honouring Japanese culture and craftsmanship

The latest timepiece, the King Seiko Ref. SJE095, encapsulates the essence of the Tokyo area, the capital of Japan, where King Seiko was born in the 1960s. Also, the watch takes its design cues from the 1965 King Seiko KSK, which had a facetted, angular case, and whose high functionality helped King Seiko define his character.

However, the new model is thinner - the King Seiko Ref. SJE095 is a 38.6mm steel watch that has a pattern of finely intersecting lines called kiku tsunagi-mon on its white dial - it recreates the texture of chrysanthemum, a Japan’s national flower known for longevity and rejuvenation. Furthermore, there are facetted hour and minute hands, and a date window at 3 o'clock. The caseback of the watch has an engraving of King Seiko, and the same shield design as the original.

The timepiece is limited to 600 pieces only and is equipped with the automatic Seiko slimline Calibre 6L35, boasting 45 hours of power reserve. The watch has a stainless steel bracelet completing it, and additionally, it comes with a grey leather strap whose colour and texture matches the patterned dial.
