What to know
The King Seiko Vanac 145th Anniversary Limited Edition uses a silver-white horizontally patterned centre surrounded by a dark-blue hour ring. Blue hands and white luminous material reinforce the strong contrast, while the faceted 41mm steel case and integrated bracelet retain the revived Vanac’s geometric character.
Reference HKF004J1 is powered by automatic calibre 8L45, with roughly 72 hours of reserve and a stated daily accuracy range of minus five to plus ten seconds. A blue shield decorates the display back. May reporting announced 800 examples at $3,300 for July availability. This steel anniversary edition is distinct from the titanium Vanac collection introduced earlier in the year.
