When you need a little sophistication in your life, you can’t go wrong with wearing the Seiko VANAC.
Originally released in 1972, the King Seiko VANAC has been synonymous with avant-garde and finely crafted timepieces that are both eye-catching but never ostentatious.
Now this reimagined Seiko classic has returned, making its way to boutiques and the wrists of the most esteemed watch collectors all over the world, including the Philippines.
Let’s take a look at why you need to add the new King Seiko VANAC to your collection.
A Most Elegant Movement: Caliber 8L45
What makes a watch function is its movement. Inside the beating heart of the King Seiko VANAC is the 8L45 Seiko movement.
When you first see this movement, your first reaction would probably be astonishment. As the hands move across the watch face, the smooth motion would probably remind you of the same cadence of a waltz. With an accuracy of +10 to – 5 seconds a day, you get one of the most accurate watches on your wrist.
The innovative mainspring of the caliber also makes King Seiko VANAC a veritable powerhouse, providing up to 72 hours of reserve power. This means this watch can be ready for use even after three days in storage when at full charge.
You also get the vaunted Seiko automatic style of making watch movements that are built to to stand the test of time. With quality control across all stages of the building process, the 8L45 movement is made to last, a timeless Seiko Masterpiece
Built for the Genteel Class of the World
Upon wearing the King Seiko VANAC, you get an unmistakable feeling of comfort.
The case comes in at a diameter of 41.0mm but it doesn’t feel overlarge or very heavy. At 192.0g the King Seiko VANAC feels just right on your wrist. You’ll also notice the bezel-less angular design, making the watch look thinner than it actually is, making for a better fit on your wrist.
The box shaped sapphire crystal gives this watch excellent durability but also an unmistakable sense of refinement. Each watch comes with a standard 10 bar water resistance, so you don’t have to fear the vagaries of weather.
The bracelet is especially designed for comfort. Each link comes with hairline finishing so that it moves with you. With a deployment clasp and push button release, the King Seiko VANAC is very easy to wear.
Finesse in Design
What makes the VANAC a timeless Seiko classic is the design cues that make it aesthetically pleasing but at the same time purposeful.
At the 12 o’clock index and at the end of the seconds hand, you have a V shape, crowning this timepiece as part of the King Seiko VANAC collection. The horizontal bars across the dial face breaks the monotony and plays with the lights and shadows, giving the watch a lot of the character.
But the piece de resistance is the dial itself. Inspired by the Japanese skyline, each watch in the collection represents a different view of the beautiful sky that you can find in Japan. This isn’t just a retro Seiko watch, it’s a work of art.
