Powerful Brilliance,
Lightweight
Comfort.
In 1972, King Seiko, characterized by its classic wristwatch
shapes, launched the VANAC series, with its bright colours and
innovative, multifaceted designs.
Today, a new VANAC
inherits the spirit that infused the original, opening up new
possibilities for King Seiko.
DESIGN
The new VANAC design is inspired by the
“Tokyo
Horizon”.
It calls to mind the vast horizon that stretches
across Tokyo—the birthplace of King Seiko.
By layering radial patterns extending from the
centre with horizontal motifs, this design
expresses the exhilarating sensation of racing
along Tokyo’s highways toward an ever-
continuing
horizon.
CASE
Powerful Brilliance, Lightweight Wearability
The case and bracelet are crafted from titanium—approximately 40% lighter than stainless steel—delivering exceptional comfort even during extended wear. While preserving a refined grey tone, the contrast between expansive mirror-polished surfaces and finely executed brushed finishing creates a powerful brilliance and sophisticated presence in any kind of light.
DIAL
A Highly Legible Dial
Expressing the Tokyo Horizon
Inspired by the bezel design of the original VANAC from the
1970s, the index ring features three-dimensional minute
markers. Lumibrite is applied to the hour markers and hands to
ensure superior legibility in low-light conditions. In
addition, a “V” motif is incorporated into the 12 o’clock
index and the counterweight of the seconds hand, accentuating
the VANAC’s distinctive identity.
Through its converging
radial and horizontal sections, the dial transports the wearer
to the heart of Tokyo. With every passing second, one can
sense the speed and excitement of the modern metropolis and
the beauty of its expansive horizon.
BRACELET
A Bracelet That Balances Beauty and Function
Seamlessly integrated with the case, the bracelet is
characterised by elegant horizontal lines created through its
slender link design.
The lightweight comfort unique to
titanium, combined with a one-push, three-fold clasp, ensures
ease of use along with a secure and reliable fit.
CASE BACK
A See-Through Case Back
Crafted for Both Function and
Beauty
The see-through case back reveals the movement within, with a
brand emblem inspired by the King Seiko shield expressed on
the sapphire crystal.
Through the back, the beautifully
executed wave pattern adorning the rotor and bridges can be
admired in detail.
MOVEMENT
Caliber 8L45
Calibre 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, Calibre 8L45 represents the pinnacle of Seiko’s mechanical watch movements.
COLOURS
The dial is offered in three colours—purple, grey, and black—
each
inspired by scenes perceived from a driver’s perspective:
the serene horizon at dawn, the modern beauty
of the urban highway,
and the hurtling speed
of moving through Tokyo at night.
