The King Seiko lineup adds a 39mm date model
Following its relaunch in 2021, the King Seiko collection is back with more modern versions.high quality replica watches
King Seiko is the result of an internal battle with Grand Seiko to create the best watch, a name that has been tucked away in a drawer for years but not forgotten by fans of the brand. However, now that GS is its own brand, positioned much higher up the spectrum than anything Seiko has ever produced, the Japanese brand decided it was time for the king of Seiko to rise from the ashes. The return of the name is done first and foremost with high-end, faithful entertainment. Then came a series of compact vintage-inspired models. Now, it was time to bring the collection up to modern standards, with enlarged cases, powerful new movements and date displays. This is the new King Seiko 39mm SPB369, SPB371 and SPB373.
The relaunch of the King Seiko name was done gradually, with several watches, all based on the same design, with a slightly different approach. First of all, the high-end, faithful and limited reference model SJE083 stands out as a highlight. With the caliber of the 6Lxx series and a case with a superhard coating and Zaratsu polished finish, it also required relatively deep pockets (as did the champagne dial version that followed). Seiko then released 5 King Seiko models in the permanent collection, featuring a compact 37mm case, a simpler movement with no date display and a handsome steel bracelet. Although some fans expressed doubts about the consistency between the actual best replica watches uk and the King Seiko name, the brand continued with its strategy. In fact, it pushes that idea further with a new trio of KS watches that make the collection now more mainstream. Bigger, less vintage, more functional and equipped with a new movement.
Compared to the 37mm watches already in the collection, there are some notable differences. These new King Seiko SPB369, SPB371 and SPB373 are not only more modern, but also bigger. The case is now 39mm in diameter — probably because some potential customers found 37mm too small — but is a bit thinner at 11.9mm. The overall design remains familiar, with a beveled bezel, box-shaped sapphire crystal, angular lugs and typical King Seiko spirit. These new models also introduce wider lugs and bezels, which now feature a brushed finish on top and polished trim on the sides. The caseback is still solid and water-resistant to 100 meters.replica luxury watches
As for the dial, the main update involves the addition of a date window at 3 o'clock and a new mention of the power reserve at 6 o'clock (not the most tasteful, if you ask me). The dial also features bolder markers and an extra facet to better reflect light and improve legibility. This new King Seiko 39mm collection introduces three debut models: SPB369 with silvery-white dial and criss-cross pattern, SPB371 with blue dial and SPB373 with green dial – both featuring classic sunray brushed dials. The watches are worn on the collection's 7-link stainless steel bracelet, the same as the 37mm, so they are interchangeable between the two watch sizes.
Inside the case is an updated movement from the 6Rxx series, the new caliber 6R55. It still has 24 jewels and keeps the same 3Hz frequency, has the same architecture, the only notable difference is a slightly increased power reserve of 3 days or 72 hours (compared to 70 hours for the 6R31 caliber of the 37mm replica watches for sale).
