King Seiko �Garyu-Bai�The �Garyu-bai� plum red dial colour of this timepiece is inspired by the birthplace of the original King Seiko in Kameido, Tokyo, famous for its plum orchards. The "Garyu-bai," was the most popular plum tree of all, named for its shape, resembling a dragon lying on the ground. This specific tree inspired one of the last masterpieces of the Ukiyoe artist Utagawa Hiroshige: �Plum Garden at Kameido,� later reproduced by Van Gogh in the world famous �Japonaiserie: Flowering Plum Tree.� It is a reinterpretation of the 1965 �King Seiko� KSK series; highly sought-after accurate mechanical watches with a stylish angular profile. In the 1960s, King Seiko timepieces led Seiko Watch Corporation�s developments in world-leading technical precision, along with Grand Seiko. �King Seiko� originated when multiple Seiko factories created different watches to encourage innovation � one of the Japanese watch brand�s constant aims.This version is updated from its original inspiration with a newly developed slim structure combined with a sapphire box glass, for a case depth of 10.33mm, the slimmest of 6R calibre models. It features a King Seiko crest mark on the crown and caseback and the bracelet is inspired by the original 1960s design through a combination of mirror and hairline finishing.The delicately cut three-dimensional indices are beautifully placed on the fine and radiant dial and the 12 o�clock marker is lightly finished by a pattern technique of making just one single surface incision at a time.Its stately, dignified and majestically classic looks remain.
