This new model is the new “Sky Blue Camo”, following the Green Camo, All Black Camo, and later Blue Camo announced in 2020. Embodying the brand concept of “Art of Fusion” (fusion of different materials and ideas), this precious timepiece is limited to 100 pieces in Japan.

Based on the design of the iconic Big Bang Unico, combined with a beautifully coloured and textured ceramic case and a rubber strap with a unique camouflage motif, this model combines sportiness with a glamorous presence.

It is equipped with the Unico, an automatic chronograph movement developed and manufactured in-house with a power reserve of about 72 hours, and its complex mechanism can be seen from the dial, including the column wheel. The dial carefully overlaps the contours of each part to create a perfectly integrated camouflage motif.

The case material is the world’s first colored ceramic, created by Hublot in 2019, and is a material that is lightweight and resistant to oxidation and scratches, and is the ultimate material of the patented brand. Today, it is possible to manipulate almost all Pantone colors at will. The Big Bang Unico Sky Blue Camo features a bright blue ceramic material with a polished and satin finish on the ceramic bezel and case featuring the iconic six-screw screws.

The belt is drawn using vulcanization technology, which Hublot acquired in 2019 for the first time in the watch industry, and is achieved by cutting and combining each individual camouflage motif.

The Big Bang Unico Sky Blue Camo is a special Japan-limited edition that perfectly combines the unique presence of movements, materials, sky blue colours and camouflage motifs from Hublot’s advanced watchmaking techniques.

Watches[Luminox]for people who work for a region or country, for someone … – PR TIMES

Luminox was founded in 1989 in the small town of San Rafael, California.

THE PACIFIC DIVER SERIES, AS ITS NAME SUGGESTS, EVOKES IMAGES OF SUNNY BEACHES, PALM TREES, WONDERFUL DAYS, WONDERFUL NIGHTS AND ADVENTURES.

Released on September 1, 2023, this global limited edition model will be released in 1,000 pieces as a global limited edition model with the idea of “Thank You for Your Service” to pay tribute to the compassion and courage of firefighters, doctors, nurses, military, teachers, and everyone who puts others before themselves.

Official Website: http://www.luminox.jp

This limited edition model reminds us to appreciate those around us who work hard for our communities and countries. It will remind us to appreciate those around us who are working hard to make a positive impact on various communities and countries.

To express our gratitude, we named this well-known and famous phrase as appropriate for the latest model.

The purple color symbolizes the blood of those who sacrificed in war, and even traditionally this color is associated with those who fight. That’s why Luminox designed a new watch with a purple cut-to-fit rubber strap and “Thank You for Your Service” engraved on the dial.

It also comes with a black rubber strap that allows for a blackout aesthetic in addition to purple.

Like the 200M water resistance and other Luminox, it is equipped with the Luminox Light Technology (LLT) self-luminous system to ensure visibility day and night for up to 25 years. It has a 44 mm diameter stainless steel case and a unidirectional rotating bezel CARBONOX™ bezel.

In addition, in mid-August, a model that inherited the original model of Luminox will appear!

In 1992, Luminox developed a watch at the request of the Navy SEALs. We listened to their needs and cooperated with them to jointly develop military watches, and the 3000 series was born. We pride ourselves on our high reliability.

In recent years, many models with changed designs have been born in the lineup, but the 3000EVO series was born again in response to the request for this origin model.

Navy SEALs need watches that can be used in a variety of fields without any problems. Military-grade shock resistance, 200-meter water resistance, and the self-luminous system “Luminox Light Technology” were required to be visible in all conditions.

The 3000EVO is a successor to the original Navy Seal 3001, which was jointly developed with the US Navy and officially adopted.

Incorporate all the elements of the original and brush them up further. The watch size (43 mm) that made the brand a success, the screwback back that is standard for waterproof watches while maintaining a very narrow dial opening, and a screw-down crown.

This product is available in three types of military-inspired colors: sand, OD green, and black with white dial, and the Navy Seal 3000 EVO is made of sapphire crystal to increase durability. While respecting the past, looking to the future, this model is tougher than ever and can handle any situation.

【Ginza Tsutaya Bookstore】Our original"Jiang Ink"From the series, the sixth … – PR TIMES

Feature Page|https://store.tsite.jp/ginza/blog/stationery/35587-1059050830.html

Ginza Tsutaya Bookstore’s “Edaiiro Ink” is an original product of the store that expresses the various cultures that blossomed during the Edo period with ink. In the first phase, we are developing products based on the concepts of colors familiar to many people during the Edo period, the second phase is kabuki, the third phase is the traditional Japan auspicious pattern, the fourth phase is the Japanese sweets color of Edo, and the fifth phase is the color of Rinpa. In the sixth installment, we unraveled the food culture of Jiang from the food depicted in ukiyo-e prints.

* For the stock of the 1st to 5th products, please contact the store.

Speaking of Edo’s food, there may be an image that is the subject of rakugo or symbolizes Eji. The three colors that were born this time are the cute “white jade color with red ink” with a silver base lameok, the “soba color” that has a taste in a calm way, and the “color of Japanese sake” that mixes yellow and green. Everything is a playful ink created with a color scheme in mind to make it look delicious. Following the 4th and 5th installments, we are collaborating with TAG STATIONERY, a stationery and miscellaneous goods manufacturer in Kyoto.

■TAG STATIONERY

TAG STATIONERY is a stationery and miscellaneous goods manufacturer born in Kyoto.
Based on the concept of simple inspiration born from “handwriting” hands, we develop products based on Kyoto’s traditional culture and local industries.

Introduction of each color

White jade color with red (dye ink with lame)

It is an ink with a soft and warm red color with fine silver glitter. In the town of Jiang, about half of the rolled white balls like red and white rice cakes are dyed red, and they can enjoy their gorgeous appearance and eat white balls as a luxurious snack that makes them feel cool in summer. The lame contained in the white jade ink with red is one color that makes you feel cool. Water-based ink is used as the material, so you can enjoy different nuances of color depending on the paper quality.

Use: Pen 

* Since brush dye ink dissolves in water, it can be used for various expressions such as “blurring” or thinly stretching colors with a water brush after writing with ink. Since it is an ink with glitter, please be careful with the writing utensils you use.

Buckwheat color (mixed ink of fine pigments and dyes)

A slightly reddish color with a warm mouse base. At the beginning of writing, the purple color is strong, and when it dries, it changes to a slightly duller color. A mixture of fine pigments and dyes is used as the material.

Use: Fountain pen / pen 

* When wet, the dye oozes out and the pigment remains on the paper. It is a characteristic ink that utilizes the blurring that is characteristic of dyes and takes advantage of the gradation of shades. Since brush dye ink dissolves in water, it can be used for various expressions such as “blurring” or thinly stretching colors with a water brush after writing with ink.

Color of Japanese sake (dye ink)

It is a bright yellow with a faint hint of green. Water-based ink is used as the material, and the color changes depending on the quality of the paper and the shade of the ink, as well as in the drying process.

Use: Fountain pen / pen

* Since brush dye ink dissolves in water, it can be used for various expressions such as “blurring” or thinly stretching colors with a water brush after writing with ink.

A limited edition model of “The Citizen” with a gorgeous sand sow dial will be released on September 7 … – Kronos Japan edition

“The Citizen” has expressed many traditional crafts on the dial. This time, no two are the same, and we have announced a limited edition model full of elegance and presence. This model was carefully made one by one in a workshop in Aizu using the technique of sowing sand on black-dyed Tosa washi paper.

Citizen AQ4103_16E

Citizen “The Citizen” High Precision Annual Difference±5 seconds Eco-Drive Limited Edition
Photovoltaic eco-drive. Power reserve about 1.5 years. Super titanium case (diameter 38.3 mm, thickness 12.2 mm). Water resistant to 10 ATM. 418,000 yen (tax included).

The fragility and technology that allows you to feel the root of the Japan’s aesthetic sense

Some of you may have never heard the word “Sunako” before. However, many of you may have said it at least once. Think of the song of Tanabata. It is a phrase “Twinkle stars, gold and silver sand”. That “kingin sunago” referred to a traditional craft called “sunako”. It is known not only as lacquerware but also as a technique of Japan painting.

Citizen AQ4103_16E

The contrast between black and gold creates both glamour and chic presence. The dial part is Tosa washi paper, and the technique of sowing sand is used on it.

In this work, Tosa washi dyed black, gold leaf from Kanazawa, which boasts a history of more than 400 years and boasts high quality, and the technique of “sand-sowing (sand-sowing)” is used to put sand-like gold and silver leaf into a tube cultivated in the Aizu painting process and shake it on the paper. This one-of-a-kind dial was created by combining traditional materials and technologies spanning all over the Japan, as well as advanced technologies such as “eco-driving”. Tosa Washi is made by the Kochi Prefecture workshop Hidaka Washi, and the process of placing the foil on the dial is a collaboration with the long-established lacquer store Sakamoto Otozo Shoten in Aizuwakamatsu, Fukushima Prefecture.

Realization of a dial that can transmit light

Citizen AQ4103_16E

You can feel the texture unique to washi paper. You can discover different expressions every time you change the angle, and it seems that you can become the center of conversation even on overseas business trips.

“Eco-Drive”, which uses light as energy to drive, needs to ensure the light transmittance of the dial. The black washi paper used this time is a material and color that does not have very good light transmittance. In addition, since the foil is scattered on the dial, it was necessary to pay more attention to the transmittance than usual. Taking these conditions into account, gold ore was imagined as the ideal dial for this work. Gold ore is an ore mined in gold mines that contain natural gold in patches, and an exquisite amount of gold leaf is placed in a tube once, sprinkled on a flat plate, and then placed one by one with a brush. This is a very time-consuming and skill-intensive method, and at the same time, a sense of placement is also required. After that, after a steady process of measuring the transmittance of the washi dial one by one, this dial was completed.

Citizen AQ4103_16E

Gold super titanium ™ is used as the case material, making it comfortable to wear and gorgeous, and the Duratect Gold coating ensures a long-lasting shine.

Citizen AQ4103_16E

The Super Titanium ™ case is matched by a black crocodile leather band, but the stitching is also gold-colored for a more cohesive feel.

Citizen AQ4103_16E

It is equipped with a movement that does not require regular battery replacement, which is one of the features of the photovoltaic power generation eco-drive, and boasts a high accuracy of ±5 seconds per year. As a function of the clock, it is practical with a perpetual calendar and a 0:00 just calendar update function.

Citizen’s unique Super Titanium ™ is about 40% lighter than stainless steel, five times harder, rust-resistant, and skin-friendly, making it the perfect material for watches. The limited edition model of “The Citizen”, which has various functions in practical terms and has various visual ingenuities, is sold in a limited edition of 350 pieces worldwide, and the limited edition number is engraved on the back case.

It will be available only at the following specific stores. I want to choose a special one with the expression of each foil.

Good face! Good finish! The ultra-complex watch is limited to 100 pieces in the world! A. Lange & Söhne “1815 Ratrapant Perpetual Calendar” ── GQ New Watches | GQ Japan

A. Lange & Söhne’s best complex watch

A. Lange & Söhne added a new rose gold dial to the 1815 Ratrapant Perpetual Calendar.

By Yuto Hosoda

The 1815 Ratrapant Perpetual Calendar is a complication watch by A. Lange & Söhne. It combines a perpetual calendar that does not require calendar correction until 2100 and a latlapante (split chronograph) that can measure lap times using two chronograph seconds hands.

Among the complications, the perpetual calendar and lattrapante are called the flower shapes. Naturally, it is a high hurdle to put these on at the same time. Not only is each mechanism complex, but they all take up a lot of space. The Perpetual Calendar moves the calendar mechanism by placing multiple large levers on the back of the day, that is, behind the dial. On the other hand, on the back cover side, it is necessary to place the chronograph mechanism and the lattrapante mechanism on top of each other.

Therefore, watches that combine these two mechanisms tend to be thicker. However, the thickness of the movement is 9.1 mm, which is thin considering the configuration. This was achieved by widening the foundationplate of the movement and placing the parts horizontally to reduce the overlap between the parts. As a result, the case thickness was 14.7 mm, which is a practical size.

View more

The new addition to the 1815 Ratrapant Perpetual Calendar, a “practical high complication”, has a classic look thanks to a solid pink gold dial. The combination of four in-dials on the dial, blue steel hour, minute, and chronograph seconds hands and 30-minute totalizers is reminiscent of the complex pocket watches of yesteryear.

Of course, there is only a watch of this class by A. Lange & Söhne, and the finish is also uncomplaining. In addition, the push of the chronograph pusher is light and pleasant. While it is a high complication with outstanding functions, it also has excellent total balance. It’s one of the best watches, but unfortunately it’s limited to 100 watches. It’s hard to get.

MoonSwatch Limited Edition ‘Mission to Neptune’ Coming: Will It Stir Up New Enthusiasm? | WIRED.jp

Now, the resale price of the MoonSwatch has calmed down to a slightly higher point than new. That said, Mission to Neptune still has a premiere, but the price on the luxury watch marketplace Chrono24 starts at about £800 (about 150,000 yen).

Limited edition models generate new enthusiasm

However, MoonSwatch’s latest model is only available for one day and costs only $300 (about 44,000 yen), so there is a possibility that it will have more premieres.

This year, Swatch came up with a revolutionary way to sustain the enthusiasm surrounding MoonSwatch. Instead of announcing a completely new model, from March onwards, the company announced a series of gray limited edition models of “Mission to the Moon” (the closest to the original Speedmaster).

The only difference between the models is the chronograph second hand, which is coated in a different style with the alloy called “Moonshine Gold” used by Omega. All of them were sold for one day only, and the release was set to be on the day of the full moon. The aim was right, and while there wasn’t as much enthusiasm as it did when it first launched, lines were forming in Swatch stores again.

In particular, August 30 is a rare “Super Blue Moon” (the largest full moon of the year and the second full moon in August), so the Swatch has decided to use “Mission to Neptune” instead of “Mission to the Moon” as a limited edition model. Again, this model is identical to the regular model, except that it is a golden chronograph second hand.

According to Swatch, the golden second hand uses recycled Moonshine Gold from its own refining plant and was “only produced during the full moon on August 1.” The watch even comes with an appraisal to prove it.

Perhaps more important than the watch itself is Swatch’s decision to spotlight one of the most problematic models in the MoonSwatch collection. After all, this is not the only blue model. The pastel airy blue Mission to Uranus is also one of the most popular models, riding a wide range of trends centered on light blue and turquoise watches.

Swatch hasn’t made an official statement about the suspension of sales of Mission to Neptune last year or its return in recent months, but we can confirm that it is widely available, at least for this one-day limited edition. However, if you expect the new colors to be added to MoonSwatch, you’ll still have to wait.

● Return value to users in a way that does not rely on crowdfunding

Crowdfunding has been seen as a profitable path for many emerging brands to launch new products and realize projects. AMONG THOSE SUCCESSFUL EXAMPLES IS KARL-LEIMON. However, they showed the surprise of their decision not to use crowdfunding in their new challenge.

Until now, Carraymon has raised funds through crowdfunding to realize new products. Their success is underpinned by their unique approach and design, which has won the following of watch lovers. However, despite their success, they chose not to use crowdfunding to create a new watch.

The new Majesty is the result of Carraymon’s challenge to deliver high-quality mechanical sports watches at an affordable price. They developed this new game without crowdfunding and making the most of their own resources.

Now, let’s start with the design of “Majesty”. What stands out at first glance is the three-dimensional case with a round form and octagonal design layered. The combination of polish and streaks creates a beautiful detail.

In addition, the polished multi-sided diamond-cut applied indexes and the vertical brushed applied logo express a condensed sense of luxury at the same time as sportiness.

Unlike the quartz triple calendar moon phase “Majesty” released in 2020, it has been reborn as a mechanical type. It uses the Japan high-beat movements “Cal.9015” and “Cal.9029”, which are proof of high-performance watches. The high beat, which means that it vibrates 28,800 times per hour (1 second 8 times), reduces the swing width of the second hand and dramatically increases the accuracy of the watch.

In addition to the date model at 6 o’clock, there is also an open heart model with a delicate movement. Both the standard blue dial and the high quality are difficult to choose.

In addition, the interchangeable specification often seen in recent rugspo is also adopted. You can change the breath with a single touch without tools, and you can enjoy both metal and rubber straps. Breath for business, rubber straps on off days, etc., it is really convenient to be able to freely change it according to your lifestyle.

The most noteworthy thing is that the limited edition full black model, which was popular in the previous Majesty, will appear again this time.

“When we released it at Makuake, the 100 limited edition all-black products were sold out within 24 hours, so we planned it again in response to strong requests from customers who wanted to resell it.”

So, you can see how popular it is. The limited edition models are limited to 99 pieces of “ALL BLACK 3HANDS AUTOMATIC” and “ALL BLACK OPEN HEART AUTOMATIC” serial numbers, respectively.

By the way, the price here is 72,600 yen ~ (consumption tax included, first come, first served price of 30 bottles). Judging from the finish and movement, I have the impression that the price is quite low, but when I asked why, I was passionate about dedicating it to watch fans.

“In recent years, the development of technology has made it possible to carve out complex shapes without the processing capacity of ultra-high-end brands at that time. Therefore, with the desire to realize a mechanical full-scale sports steel watch at under 100,000, we also cut the crowdfunding store opening fee and realized that we wanted to provide a classic sports watch at a price that satisfies our customers.”

The release date (pre-order sales start) is Monday, September 25, 2023. Even if you are not a fan, it will be a fun one.
