A piece from the 1980s that has remained sheltered for nearly forty years, never once worn. An intact testament to Japanese watchmaking of the era. The sunburst blue dial is its signature. Depending on the light, it shifts from a deep blue to a brighter sheen, structured by fine baton hour markers and original steel hands. A discreet blue on the wrist, revealed as soon as it catches the light. The freshness of the dial, with no intervention or re-gilding, confirms the exceptional condition of the piece.
