King Seiko 45KS Two-Tone Redux 145th Anniversary Watch Review
The King Seiko 45KS Two-tone Redux 145th Anniversary edition celebrates the esteemed Japanese watch brand's milestone with a special design that pays tribute to its founders, Kintaro Hattori and Tsuruhiko Yoshikawa. The watch features a 39.4mm stainless steel case, a distinctive grey dial with a nanako pattern reminiscent of fish roe, and gold-tone indices. It is powered by the 6L35 automatic movement, offering a 72-hour power reserve, and is limited to just 800 pieces, priced at £2,700. This anniversary piece combines accessibility and luxury, placing King Seiko between the standard Seiko models and the high-end Grand Seiko offerings. Its thoughtful design elements, such as the arrow markings at the 12 o'clock position and enhanced drainage capabilities, reflect a commitment to both aesthetics and functionality, making it a noteworthy addition to any watch collection.
