The King Seiko is back...
It’s been a hectic weekend between yesterday still being a workday and two birthday parties of one of our children, so I hardly managed to run WS properly, let alone get many spare moments for a breather. And almost all were used up in a quick dash to the Boutique to pick up the freshly arrived King Seiko SJE083.
Haven’t worn it yet, or even removed all of the wrapping or tags but wanted to share a first picture.
It’s nice to see the dressier side of things also being taken care off at Seiko and the piece is a great 140th anniversary celebration reissue of one of the more significant watches from the company’s history.
It might not fully convince in pictures, with the date being the obvious break with its ancestor but in all honesty Seiko is only slowly adopting the idea of leaving the date out on certain limited edition pieces.
The polishing is very sharp (can see nicely how the tie reflects of the lug and case) the sunburst dial and the flat polished hands offer an excellent legibility in spite of the low contrast. And fortunately they went for a solid case back, which was a correct decision IMHO.
The movement is a 6L35, which offers a healthy PR of 70 hours and probably decades of trouble free operation.
Now if one of the following weekends is better, I will try posting a review, too 🤞🏻

Fantastic!!!
I recently was considering it. If only for the date... But still I think it is a great one! Enjoy it in the best of health, Alex
Thanks a lot Alex!
The date was bothering me much more on pictures than in real life 😊
Huge Congrats again my friend, with your new KS and with your fam 🤗
Hope you will enjoy this elegant and beautiful KS later this week and show us some great wrist shots .
So far it doesn’t look like the kids will give us much time off but I will do my best 😁
Thanks a lot Watchonthewrist!
Will do so!
Will need to find occasions to break it in without the kids participating 😉Especially our son is in a watch modification stage (he’s 3,5) 😂
Keeping an eye on KS reissues . . .
. . . and hoping for a black dial variant sans date. As reverential I am for GS, I'm really more attuned towards KS. Elegant to a point, and then full stop. Attentively, Art
Looks good
And I'm pleased they went with the gold medallion too. Looking forward to the review 😊 Cheers JML
Old or New, King Seikos are shaking up the watch world
