Seiko King Seiko SPB287J1 Stainless Steel Automatic Red Replica Watch

The Garyu-bai plum red dial colour of this timepiece is inspired by the birthplace of the original King Seiko in Kameido, Tokyo, famous for its plum orchards. The Garyu-bai, was the most popular plum tree of all, named for its shape, resembling a dragon lying on the ground. This specific tree inspired one of the last masterpieces of the Ukiyoe artist Utagawa Hiroshige: Plum Garden at Kameido, later reproduced by Van Gogh in the world famous Japonaiserie: Flowering Plum Tree.

It is a reinterpretation of the 1965 King Seiko KSK series; highly sought-after accurate mechanical watches with a stylish angular profile.
