A look into Masakazu Mimura's watchmaking history

　"Chronos Japan Edition Tick Tock Talk♪" began airing on TOKYO FM on July 1, 2023. This program will feature an after-talk with guests after the recording!

　Masakazu Mimura of the comedy duo Summers appeared on the show. He talked about the Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph, which was the catalyst for his collection of luxury watches, and the inside story behind his purchase of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph, which has become synonymous with him.

　He also introduced the Patek Philippe Calatrava 5120, which he acquired with the intention of wearing on the quiz show "Qsama!!" hosted by Summers. What is the appeal of this only dress watch in his collection, which he was drawn to for its dial color?

We recommend the Tudor Black Bay 58 925
