He shares his initial impressions and stunning photography of the watch, highlighting its unique aesthetic. This article delves into why this particular model, with its distinctive mother-of-pearl moon and gradient dial, resonates with collectors and offers a fresh perspective on Japanese horology beyond the usual suspects.
Since getting it the other day, I’ve been enjoying the charm of the mother-of-pearl moon that waxes and wanes against the monochromatic, charcoal gray, gradient dial and sky.
It does look quite exciting indeed! You are right, it is the even more forgotten brand than Citizen but offers some great pieces. Also like how they managed to make the front side hide the somewhat smaller size of the movement when compared to the case 👌🏻👍🏻 What is the dial made of?
It's no Sarpaneva moon, but it does have its charms.
I wish I could say that the dial is fabricated from something exotic, but I believe it's color-treated SS.😐
And your description is poetic, too 🙏 „the charm of the mother-of-pearl moon that waxes and wanes against the monochromatic, charcoal gray, gradient dial and sky.“ Great! All the best Thomas
I'm glad you liked the watch and the description. RalphWaldoWannabe Pk😀
The grey dial with its great texture and the moon phase are just beautiful. Marc
