King Seiko

Men's 39mm ‘Edo Purple’ 6L 1969 Re-Interpretation Watch

Celebrate Seiko’s rich legacy with the King Seiko SJE111J1, a stunning re-interpretation of the 45KS, which was first introduced in 1969 and became Japan's first ever certified Chronometre. Renowned for its exceptional accuracy, the 45KS was entered into international watchmaking competitions and quickly established Seiko as a leader in precision timekeeping. Now, Seiko brings you the ‘Edo Purple’, a modern revival of this legendary model.

The King Seiko SJE111J1 takes inspiration from the original 4502-8020, maintaining its curved case shape, date feature, and the iconic 12 o’clock index cut that resembles an arrow feather. The vintage aesthetic is further enhanced by a narrow link bracelet, staying true to the Sixties style that made Seiko famous.

At just 9.9mm in depth, this watch is powered by Seiko’s slimmest in-house automatic movement, the 6L35 calibre. This provides both a sleek profile and precision performance, with a +15/-10 seconds per day accuracy and an impressive 45-hour power reserve. The bidirectional and semi-instantaneous winding mechanism ensures practicality and ease of use, making it an ideal choice for daily wear.
