■ OUTLINE
This watch brand was founded by editor-in-chief Yoshimasa Kikuchi, who has been involved with watch magazines for over 20 years and has overseen collaborations with trading companies and special-order models for ANA (All Nippon Airways). While cherishing the atmosphere of the golden age of mechanical wristwatches from the 1940s to 1960s, the brand offers antique-style watches suitable for everyday use. They offer fashionably attractive watches without feeling cheap, and offer them in small batches.

Inspired by a masterpiece watch for exploration
"369 Special" ¥60,500
The dial, which features the numbers 3, 6, and 9, was born from the continuous exchange of information with explorers and is based on the motif of a masterpiece watch that is synonymous with the brand. It features a design that reproduces the honeycomb dial from the early 1950s and emphasizes the antique feel.
The honeycomb black dial follows the basic design, while the honeycomb white dial features gold 3D indices, further emphasizing the vintage feel. There is also a glossy black dial without the honeycomb design, and the lineup also includes a standard model with a modern feel.
The movement is the Miyota 9000 series caliber 9039, which is under the Citizen umbrella, and is high-performance yet thin.
This replica of the honeycomb guilloche decoration from the 1950s offers a unique texture and three-dimensional effect.
The large 8mm crown enhances operability and adds an antique feel.
A plastic windshield is used to faithfully reproduce the vintage feel.
The shape has been carefully crafted down to the millimeter to create a 1960s atmosphere.
It features a slim case design and a thin Miyota movement.
The serial number is engraved large on the back cover, creating a classic impression.

"Military Type 1940" ¥47,300
(Left)Ref.YK20231-12 (12 hour display), (Right)Ref.YK20231-60 (60 second display)
This replica of the 1940s British "Dirty Dozen" and German Air Force "B" watches features a Seagull manual-winding movement with a small seconds hand to ensure faithful design.
The British Army's "Dirty Dozen" watches of the time were manufactured by 12 Swiss watchmakers, including Omega, IWC, Longines, and Jaeger-LeCoultre, and feature the same design based on military standards. The small seconds hand is positioned at 6 o'clock, faithfully recreating the atmosphere of the time. Meanwhile, the German Air Force's "B Watch" was designed with an emphasis on legibility down to the second, and its smoky green dial adds a modern touch.
The Seagull movement realizes a small second hand similar to the design of the 1940s, and the crown is positioned at 3 o'clock, just like back then. This is a rare position in Japan, and it enhances the perfection of the design.

Adds a modern and playful feel. 
Its classic and calm atmosphere makes it suitable for a wide range of occasions, from casual to business. It also goes well with the slender wrists of Japanese people, making it extremely comfortable to wear.
Comes standard with NASA's legendary mesh bracelet
"2-Register Chrono Series II" ¥66,000
This model is equipped with SEIKO's Mecha-Quartz VK64 movement and comes standard with a reproduction of the legendary mesh bracelet, Forstner's "Comfit."
The watch evokes the retro feel of the 1960s, with the small dials on the dial featuring two horizontal lines. The tachymeter scale and numbers on the bezel (the ring around it) are in an old-fashioned font, and the hour and minute hands are in a classic alpha (diamond) shape, creating a bold, mature look.
The movement, bezel diameter, and case size have been adjusted to achieve the compact size and comfortable fit of the 1960s era. It comes with a gray NATO strap, allowing you to wear it to suit any occasion and style.
The Seiko VK64 mechanical quartz watch features a sweeping chronograph hand (stopwatch function), which can be instantly reset to zero with a push of the reset button after measurement has stopped. This smooth movement of the hand is a charm not found in other mechanical quartz watches.
Forstner's "Comfit" bracelet is an adjustable mesh bracelet developed in 1939 by Forstner, a company founded in the United States in the 1920s. It became widely known for being worn by NASA astronauts and was actually used in the space program in the 1960s. Now, Forstner has been relaunched and is selling a reproduction of the Comfit. This bracelet has a simple structure and can be adjusted to fit any wrist size.

The chic monochrome colors and mesh bracelet give it a classic look that is suitable for business settings.
Other attractive watches include the "Comple Diver 1960," which is based on a masterpiece diver's watch from the 1960s; the "Pilot Chrono 20th Limited," a model commemorating the 20th anniversary of luxury watch magazine "Power Watch"; and the "Second Setting," which recreates an aviation watch from the 1940s, all of which make use of the knowledge gained as an editor of a watch magazine.
