Named ‘Shiro-iro’ for its warm white coloured dial, the dial texture is inspired by soft Japanese silk – a material which has long featured in Japan’s history since ancient times in home décor and clothing. Under sapphire glass, the curved dial with curved hands and indices evoke vintage style and are specifically designed to maximise light reflections. The seven-piece multi-row bracelet has been developed and inspired by 1970s retro metal watch bracelets. Not only are these designed for style and to reflect the light, each piece is short at only 6mm long, allowing for maximum movement and comfort. This Classic Series timepiece is powered by an in-house built 6R55 calibre with a date function at 3 o’clock, accurate to -15/+25 seconds per day, with a three-day 72-hour power reserve.
