Up for sale this example which sits on the rarer side of the Vanac line. The Vanac series debuted in 1972 as Seiko’s most design-forward chapter within the King Seiko family, defined by bold geometry, faceted crystals, and expressive dials. Production only ran for a few short years (roughly until 1974/75), and all examples were JDM-only. Details Dial: Original green textured “Dragon Scale” dial, strong depth and light play Bracelet: Original King Seiko Vanac bracelet with scale-like links Movement: Seiko cal. 5256, hi-beat 28,800 bph, automatic, hacking & hand-winding Condition: All original, clean and well-preserved example A short-lived, design-driven King Seiko that represents the final expressive push before the quartz transition—and increasingly difficult to find today in this condition.

	Established:	1881
	Website:	http://seikousa.com/index.php
	Country of Origin:	Japan

The company was founded in 1881, when Kintarō Hattori opened a watch and jewelry shop called "K. Hattori" (服部時計店 Hattori Tokeiten?) in the Ginza area of Tokyo, Japan. Eleven years later, in 1892, he began to produce clocks under the name Seikosha (精工舎 Seikōsha?), meaning roughly "House of Exquisite Workmanship". According to Seiko's official company history, titled "A Journey In Time: The Remarkable Story of Seiko" (2003), Seiko is a Japanese word meaning "exquisite" or "success" ("exquisite" is usually written 精巧 from Chinese jīngqiǎo, while the meaning "success" is usually written 成功 from Chinese chénggōng).

Seiko is perhaps best known for its wristwatches, all of which were at one time produced entirely in-house. This includes not only major items such as microgears, motors, hands, crystal oscillators, batteries, sensors, LCDs but also minor items such as the oils used in lubricating the watches and the luminous compounds used on the hands and the dials.
