NWA: Otsuka Lotec No.5 Kai
Finally received this unusual specimen today 🥳 I have to say that I am very impressed by the overall execution and attention to detail. The watch feels robust and well made. I’ve put it on a 3rd party strap and can already tell that it’s a strap monster 👍🏻
Industrial design at its finest
Katayama-san is taking his brand to a whole new level.
I don't know what else is in your collection, but I can tell you that design is an important issue for you.
Can you tell us why did you choose those watches?
Let's switch to italian, glad to see an italian friend here.
Complimenti, scelta eccellente, se ricordo bene sei riusciuto a prenderlo a listino, che è un ottimo traguardo, visto il successo che sta avendo.
Il Ressence è un'altra chicca da vero esteta ed amante del design.
Indeed, it brings something different to a crowded space...
...you can have a look at my other posts to see what's in my collection, and you'll notice that design definitely plays a very important part
P.S. L'ho acquistato da un rivenditore giapponese, perché è impossibile comprarlo direttamente da Jiro dato che bisogna vivere in Giappone. Il Ressence Type 8 è una meraviglia contemporanea.
Thank you, I should also mention that the form factor is great and the watch wears very well on the wrist
Congratulations on your new Otsuka Lotec No.5 Kai.
It really does have a look all of its own and whilst at first I thought it looked really complicated, if the time is 1:02 in the first picture and 11:55 in the last picture I think I worked it out.

Congratulations. Glad it finally arrived.
With your Ressence they are quite the pair.
Looking forward to hearing some more thoughts after you’ve lived with it for a while. And don’t be shy on the wrist shots; always good to see something different.
Huge congrats!
Mine isn't coming for another month or so! Looking forward to your strap ideas!
Thanks Patrick 🙏
Are you getting the same reference? I’ll buy a couple of more straps next week and post new pics 👍🏻
I see this a lot on here, NWA.
What exactly does it mean, New Watch Arrived, New Watch Arriving, or something completely different?
Awesome
I love all of his work and am excited to see how the brand develops over time. Very "refreshing" vs a lot of the very derivative and boring stuff we see out there today.
Thanks, and I totally agree…
…Jiro brings something new to the table and his design aesthetic is instantly recognisable
