King Seiko SPB459J1
The King Seiko SPB459J1, a compact 36.1mm gem, brings vintage elegance to modern wrists. It’s got the 6R51 movement, ticking for 72 hours and lets you enjoy a weekend without winding. The box-shaped sapphire crystal, with anti-reflective coating, guarantees the wearer a clear view of its finely detailed dial.

Plus, it’s got quick-release spring bars that make strap changes a breeze, and the LumiBrite hands and indices ensure excellent readability even in the dark. This King Seiko truly is the perfect blend of style and practicality that’s perfect for gifting (and wearing!) no matter the occasion.
