Quick Answer The King Seiko VANAC HKF004J1 is a commemorative watch marking Seiko's 145th anniversary, limited to 800 pieces worldwide. It pairs the spirit of the original 1970s VANAC collection with the automatic Caliber 8L45 movement, a 41mm stainless steel case, a silver-white dial with a Seiko Blue chapter ring, and 100m of water resistance. Available at Lexor Miami, authorized dealer, in-store only.

Design & VANAC Heritage

The King Seiko VANAC HKF004J1 pays homage to the iconic VANAC collection of the 1970s, reinterpreting its bold spirit through a modern design language. The silver-white dial contrasts with a vivid Seiko Blue chapter ring, a direct nod to the color that has represented the brand since the 1960s. The signature "V" motif, faceted hands, and bezel-free silhouette evoke Tokyo's endless horizon, creating a refined yet bold presence on the wrist.

Movement & Performance: Caliber 8L45

At the heart of this watch is Seiko's automatic Caliber 8L45, considered one of the brand's finest mechanical movements outside the Grand Seiko collection. It operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour, delivers approximately 72 hours of power reserve, features 35 jewels, manual winding capability, hacking seconds, and a date display. Its accuracy is rated at +10/-5 seconds per day.

Materials & Construction

The 41mm stainless steel case showcases the distinctive bezel-free VANAC silhouette. A box-shaped sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating protects the dial, while LumiBrite-treated hands and indexes ensure excellent legibility in low light. The watch features a screw-down crown, a transparent caseback showcasing the movement's finishing, a quick-release bracelet system, magnetic resistance of 4,800 A/m, and 100 meters (10 bar) of water resistance.

Note: Lexor Miami's informational page on this model describes it with a titanium case; the official product listing specifies stainless steel. We recommend confirming the exact material before publishing this post.
