In 1965, four years after the birth of the first King Seiko, a series known as the King Seiko KSK was created. It was this design that forever defined the character of the collection, with its sharp, angular case and high functionality. Featuring a combination of a beautifully-finished dial with faceted indexes and broad, razor-edged hands, modern re-interpretations of the KSK offer a refined and striking presence. The twelve o’clock index is more than twice the width of the others and has a patterned texture specially crafted to ensure high legibility and to give the dial a bright sparkle that invites the eye. The bold, uniquely shaped lugs have sharp angles and wide flat surfaces that showcase both mirror and hairline finishing, creating a sense of precision. An artful melding of proportions, design, and functionality results in watches capable of moving gracefully from relaxed to formal situations and everywhere in between.
