The KS 1969 series is offered with silver, purple, and green dials inspired by Tokyo, the birthplace of King Seiko. The silver dial is textured to evoke the modern-day cityscape of Tokyo, while the purple dial is made in the image of a traditional Japanese color known as “Edo purple,” which was cherished during the Edo period. The green dial features a gradation that captures the natural greenery that has covered parts of the city over the centuries. Enhancing the beautiful dials, the multi-faceted index at twelve o’clock is designed with a pattern that evokes the feather fletching of an arrow, a feature familiar from traditional Japanese archery while the hour and minute hands are sharply cut on three sides, marking the time with a powerful radiance and a certainty toward the future.
