The Day-Date watch I received for my birthday is a memory I'll never let go of.
Masamasa Hirota, editor-in-chief of the watch magazine Chronos Japan, hosts the radio program "BEST ISHIDA Presents Chronos Japan Tick Tock Talk♪." This episode's guest is EXILE performer MATSU/Toshio Matsumoto. Currently working as an actor, and taking on the challenge of general entertainment with the theater troupe EXILE Matsu-gumi, of which he is the leader, Toshio Matsumoto's favorite watches are a combination model of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona and a solid gold model of the Oyster Perpetual Day-Date, which was a gift from HIRO on his 30th birthday. He also has an Oyster Perpetual Explorer from the year he was born, which he received from an acquaintance on his 40th birthday.
In 2004, after the success of EXILE's first arena tour, he bought a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona combination model, a luxurious version with eight-point diamond indexes on the dial. However, he actually wanted a solid gold or pavé diamond dial, but they were too expensive for him to buy at the time.
When she went to New York to study dance, clutching the money she had saved from a part-time job in Kawasaki when she was young, she apparently had absolutely no money. The story of how she survived on $1 bread in her shabby apartment is a must-see.
The Oyster Perpetual Day Date that HIRO bought me for my 30th birthday
The Oyster Perpetual Day Date, given to him by fellow EXILE member HIRO for his birthday, is a top-of-the-line model made of solid gold with 10-point baguette diamond indexes on the dial. MATSU was deeply impressed by the model worn by the highly successful American hip-hop star, as it was right up his alley.
