Seiko SPB365 King Seiko Kameido Limited Edition Brown 37mm

This year, Seiko will celebrate the 110th anniversary of its, and Japan's, first wristwatch, the
Laurel, with the release of a series of commemorative timepieces including a new King Seiko
watch that draws inspiration from Seiko's rich technological and design heritage. It comes a
year after the return of the vintage-influenced King Seiko collection, which quickly captivated
watch enthusiasts around the world thanks to its sharp lines, elegant wrist presence, and
winning heritage design.

At first glance, the gradient dial enchantingly plays with light, but a closer examination reveals
a design inspired by a traditional Japanese geometric pattern known as Kikkoumon, which is
based on the hexagonal shape of the tortoise shell. In Japanese culture, the tortoise symbolizes
longevity and prosperity, and the six-sided chelonian shape is further associated with
samurai armor, as an auspicious pattern signifying strength and victory.

Moreover, the Kikkoumon is a nod to the 1960s origins of King Seiko, which was born at a
facility in the Kameido section of Tokyo, once known as Kameshima, an area bounded by rivers
and streams and known as "Tortoise Island." The dial pattern has tremendous depth and
texture - each hexagon is in fact series of three inset hexagons, each deeper than the last -
and this depth is further expressed on the entire dial through a gradual darkening from the
center to the edges.

It features the same elegant 37mm case and a seven-link bracelet seen in other King Seiko
watches over the past year. The sharpness and angularity are inspired by the classic 1965 King
Seiko KSK - the second King Seiko series and the one that defined the collection's character.
