Nintendo makes Switch 2 a domestic limited specification. Raising the hurdle for pre-order lottery applications, such as more than 50 hours of play record with the current model, and resale measures Toyo Keizai Online
The Self-Defense Forces are the cornerstone of Japan’s defense and carry out their missions in harsh environments every day. As a general rule, each SDF member purchases a watch at his or her own expense while on duty. Therefore, there is always a constant demand for watches that are strong enough to withstand missions while reducing the financial burden on SDF personnel.
Here, we select recommended models from domestic and foreign brands, from models that can easily enjoy military taste to professional spec machines that can withstand harsh conditions. Variation models are already sold out, so it is expected that the stock will be small, so if you are interested, we recommend that you purchase it as soon as possible.
【Images】Carefully selected from domestic and foreign brands! Summary of Notable Self-Defense Forces Models
First of all, we will introduce the notable model of the “JSDF series” of Kentex, a domestic brand that handles authentic watches that are particular about Japan at affordable prices. The series has adopted the official emblems of the Ground Self-Defense Force, the Maritime Self-Defense Force, and the Air Self-Defense Force, and has been widely supported by members of the Ministry of Defense, including official events of the Ministry of Defense and contract products at the headquarters of the Ministry of Defense.

NOMOS Glashütte Tangente Japan Blau | 林時計鋪 Gressive
German watch brand NOMOS Glashütte will release two models from the impressive ukiyo-e blue “Tangent Japan Blau” in mid-March. Since its launch in 1992, it has been a Japan limited edition model of NOMOS’ iconic piece “Tangent”.
There will be two models to be released, a version with a blue second hand and a version dyed red.
Blue and Japan ukiyo-e from Berlin
The soft milky white dial shines with velo indigo indexes and blue needles.
The roots of the blue dye loved by Katsushika Hokusai and Utagawa Hiroshige, two of Japan’s leading ukiyo-e artists, were in Berlin, Germany. It is a scientific synthetic pigment that was discovered by chance, and is said to have entered Japan in 1747. It is a color that is not found in conventional plant-based indigo blue, and was often used in ukiyo-e prints such as “Thirty-six Views of Futaka”. This blue pigment, which came from as far away as Europe, became an innovative color that gave breadth and depth to the sky and waves depicted by ukiyo-e techniques.
The package is also designed with the motif of the ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai’s famous painting “Futaka Sanroku Views Kanagawa Oki Namura”.
The new “Tangene Japan Blau” released by NOMOS Glashütte has a milky white dial reminiscent of pale clouds floating in ukiyo-e, and a traditional German blue-fired needle with an index of the vivid blue color vividly depicted in ukiyo-e. The blue expressed in ukiyo-e, which had a great influence on famous European painters later, has become a color that expresses the spirituality of Japan people, such as samurai blue, which has taken root even today.
NOMOS Glashütte “Tangent Sonder Model Japan” Ref.NM139.S53B
Hand winding. (Cal. α) 17 stones. 21,600 vibrations per hour. Power reserve about 43 hours. SS case (35mm, 6.2mm thick). Water resistant to 3 ATM. 382,800 yen (tax included). Limited to 15 pieces.
The Ref. NM139.S53B is designed with the image of “indigo-e,” a technique that paints with a single color blue. On the other hand, the Ref. NM139.S53R makes the ukiyo-e work gorgeous, and the small seconds are arranged with “red” that tightens the whole.
NOMOS Glashütte “Tangent Sonder Model Japan” Ref.NM139.S53R
Hand winding. (Cal. α) 17 stones. 21,600 vibrations per hour. Power reserve about 43 hours. SS case (35mm, 6.2mm thick). Water resistant to 3 ATM. 382,800 yen (tax included). Limited to 35 pieces.
Since its launch in 1992, NOMOS’ iconic “Tangent” has not undergone major design changes. The simplicity of the design and the elegance that can be used unisex have been loved throughout the ages. The length of the lug, which is one of the features, is also a part that has not been touched up.
NOMOS watches are created by Berlina Brau, a Berlin-based design team based in Berlin, where Belo Ai was born. The traditional beauty of Japan is embodied in “Tangent”, which embodies NOMOS’ philosophy of simplicity.
“Tangente Japan Blau” is engraved with the letters “TANGENTE SONDERMODEL JAPAN” and serial number, which is a certificate of Japan exclusivity. The strap is a brown cordovan cordovan made by Horween that complements the blue and comes with a deployment buckle. The movement is the most produced and most reliable hand-wound in-house Alpha movement produced in Glashütte.
The outer circumference of the back cover is engraved with the letters “TANGENTE SONDERMODEL JAPAN” and the serial number, indicating a model limited to Japan.
It comes with a leather case that can also be used for travel.

A milky white dial reminiscent of pale clouds floating in ukiyo-e prints, blue indexes as bright as blue waves, and blue hands in the tradition of German watchmaking.
It is a beautiful fusion of tradition with tangents, which embody NOMOS’ philosophy of simplicity.

Moved to Maserati Yokohama Kohoku near Kohoku IC and opened a new store
About 3 minutes by car from the Kohoku IC on the 3rd Keihin/Metropolitan Expressway Yokohama Kita Line and Northwest Line, which is easy to access, Maserati Yokohama Kohoku, a new base for Maserati in Kanagawa Prefecture, has opened. Maserati Yokohama, which had been operating near Tsuzuki Fureainooka Station on the Yokohama Municipal Subway Green Line, was relocated to Maserati Yokohama Kohoku near the Kohoku IC and opened a new store.
Maserati Yokohama Kohoku boasts one of the largest showrooms in Japan at 424.80 square meters and one of the largest land areas for the brand in Japan. It was completed as a space where you can fully experience the charm of the Maserati brand.

The showroom is a new global concept store that innovatively represents Maserati’s Italian luxury and craftsmanship. A space that combines sophisticated sartoria (meaning tailor) and officina, which means workshop, is set up, and a special space is prepared where you can create the ultimate Maserati. There is also a show window to promote the vehicles on display outdoors, which have become familiar.
The interior of the store is illuminated by soft light, and the wall display displays handcrafted leather samples and goods. In the private consultation room, you can combine the state-of-the-art MXE 3D digital configurator with the Forisserie program to create your own ideal one.
The workshop is also a large space of about 400 square meters
The attached workshop has a large space of about 400 square meters. Equipped with the latest equipment, in addition to the inspection line, three state-of-the-art lifts that can handle up to 3.7 tons are installed, and it is said to be a facility that can handle heavy EV vehicles. In addition, there is one gate lift that can be used for multiple purposes.
To commemorate the opening of the new store, two cars were exhibited for the first time in the showroom: the MC20 Cielo Limited Rosso Vicente, a Japan-limited edition model that pays homage to the racing model of yesteryear, and the MC20 Legenda, a MC12GT1-inspired world-limited car that was the only one to land in the Japan.
Inspired by the MC12GT1, the MC20 Legenda was exhibited as a world-limited edition car and only one car landed in the Japan. Kazuhide Ueno
Large-scale stores are also very important as a base strategy
At the opening, Mr. Takayuki Kimura, CEO of Maserati Japan, said:
“Following the renewal of Maserati Meguro and Maserati Shinsaibashi last year, we are delighted to be able to open a new Maserati Yokohama Kohoku, one of the largest in Japan. We believe that the fact that we were able to open a large-scale store like Maserati Yokohama Kohoku that integrates a showroom and a workshop in the suburbs of Tokyo with good transportation access is very important as a base strategy.
From left to right, Mr. Baba, Mr. Takahashi, Mr. Kimura, and Mr. Okuyama participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Kazuhide Ueno
We are really looking forward to allowing many customers to experience the charm of Maserati through this showroom.”
Next, Tatsuo Takahashi, president of Sojitz Auto Group Japan, which operates Maserati Yokohama Kohoku, said:
“Since July 2021, I have been in charge of Maserati sales in the Yokohama area. This time, our long-cherished wish came true, and we were able to set up a vast and spacious store in Kohoku. All of our employees will do their best to make more customers feel the new appeal of Maserati and provide the services they deserve.”
The ribbon-cutting ceremony was attended by Mr. Kimura and Mr. Takahashi, Maserati Yokohama Kohoku store manager Yoshitaka Baba, and Ken Okuyama Design CEO Kiyoyuki Okuyama.
