Seiko introduces a new SJE095 which is defined by its Chrysanthemum dial, continuing the revived King Seiko series. It is a limited-edition design that is detailed with intricate patterning. The new look marks the first of the contemporary series of the King Seiko, accented with a unique patterned dial.
The aforementioned chrysanthemum pattern can be seen on the white dial plate which is a nod to the spirit of Tokyo to celebrate the brand's Japanese heritage. The pattern is inspired by a specific form of traditional cut glass dubbed 'Edo Kiriko.' The SJE095 is enclosed in a 38.6mm stainless steel case and it is detailed with a tonal handset, a window at the 3 o'clock section, and applied indices.
