Who is King? 

The King term is used for an upgraded Seiko Prospex watch.  Fans of Seikos often come up with unusual nicknames. Some are understandable like Turtle and Tuna others are hard to imagine where they came from like Sumo and Monster.  King is an easy term to understand.  King is the ruler.  

It began with a Turtle

The King upgrade started early 2020 with the King Turtle.  The Seiko Turtle is probably the most iconic of all Seiko dive watches, so it was a good place to start.  The upgrades were so great they tried it on another popular design, the Seiko Samurai.

The Seiko King Samurai

The Seiko Samurai is already a fantastic watch.  The 4R35 movement is a real workhorse.  The Samurai itself is a work of art with all of it's sharp edged design.  The King Samuari takes all of this and upgrades it.  What are the upgrades, well just what all of you, die hard Seiko fans wanted.  The upgrades include a sapphire crystal and a ceramic bezel insert.  These new elements create an even better watch.
