What to know
King Seiko’s Vanac HKF005J1 interprets a distant view of Tokyo after dark through a glossy, finely speckled black dial. The familiar raised hour ring, V-shaped markers and angular hands remain, framed by the Vanac’s sharply finished steel case. Its 41mm diameter is paired with a compact 45mm lug-to-lug measurement.
Automatic calibre 8L45 runs at 4Hz and provides approximately 72 hours of reserve, with a stated daily accuracy range of minus five to plus ten seconds. A sapphire back reveals the movement. September reporting placed availability in October 2026; its suggested US price was an estimate, so no confirmed American retail figure is claimed here.
