FEATURES

A limited edition lid model of the Oceanus Manta, with a motif of the sea at night illuminated by moonlight.

The OCEANUS Manta OCW-SG1000CN-1AJR and OCEANUS Manta OCW-S7000CN-1AJF are limited edition models based on the theme of "CALM NIGHT," which means a quiet night, incorporating design codes inspired by the ocean of OCEANUS and featuring a motif of the sea at night illuminated by moonlight.

The Oceanus Manta OCW-SG1000CN-1AJR is a model that uses Gallium Tough Solar technology, which is a wristwatch adaptation of the solar cell technology installed on JAXA's small lunar landing demonstration vehicle, SLIM. Compared to conventional Tough Solar, it has extremely high power generation efficiency and makes it possible to miniaturize the solar cell. In this model, the solar cell is placed only on the outer edge of the dial, freeing it from the constraints of dial expression.

　The dial features a textured metal design with a motif of the unevenness and shadows on the moon's surface, and is paired with a black DLC-treated titanium exterior that matches the dial. The bezel is made of Edo Kiriko glass with its attractive sharp edges.

The Oceanus Manta OCW-S7000CN-1AJF is a limited edition model incorporating a similar design concept. The bezel was overseen by Toru Horiguchi, a traditional craftsman and third-generation "Shuseki" of Horiguchi Kiriko. The moonlight and the sparkle of the sea reflecting it are expressed using the traditional "Sensuji" cut glass pattern. This cutting is applied from the back of the bezel, and the gradation is achieved by applying a silver vapor deposition followed by a black vapor deposition from above and a silver vapor deposition from below.

Two limited edition models of the "Oceanus" called the "Retro Tone Collection"

The Oceanus Manta OCW-S7000RA-5AJF and Oceanus OCW-T2600RA-8AJF are limited edition models with a chic design that are part of the Retro Tone Collection. The Oceanus brand concept is "Elegance, Technology," and the collection pursues high-quality finishes and multi-functionality. The Manta is positioned at the top of the line.

The Oceanus Manta OCW-S7000RA-5AJF boasts the high quality and chic design befitting the Manta series. The dial features a semi-matte gradient finish, creating a tasteful look in which color and light blend exquisitely from the center to the periphery. The bezel ring is made of sapphire crystal. The top surface is laser-processed to create a semi-matte finish that matches the tone of the dial.

The Oceanus OCW-T2600RA-8AJF also features a semi-matte gradation finish on the dial, creating a rich and expressive finish. Both models achieve vibrant dial colors by precisely controlling transmittance while ensuring the amount of light received necessary for solar charging.

A collaboration model between OCEANUS and Tamio Okuda

The OCEANUS Manta OCW-S7000TS-1AJR is a limited edition model commemorating the 30th anniversary of Tamio Okuda's solo career and the 60th anniversary of his birth. This model is a collaboration between OCEANUS, which prides itself on its uncompromising craftsmanship and "Made in Japan," and Tamio Okuda, who continues to be at the forefront of the music scene, with a passion for music and his own unique style, and was produced under the full supervision of Tamio Okuda.

　The sapphire crystal bezel is engraved with the words "OKUDA ​​TAMIO," with the "60" in red to celebrate his 60th birthday. The inset dial ring at 9 o'clock features a gradient design of orange and red, Tamio Okuda's favorite colors.

Collaboration model between EDIFICE and NISMO

The EDIFICE ECB-S10NIS-7AJR is a limited edition model jointly planned by Casio, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., and NISMO. NISMO is Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.'s motorsports division, and this watch embodies NISMO's racing spirit. The original NISMO logo is placed at the 12 o'clock position on the dial, and the white, blue, and red tricolor of the Nissan works team adorns the dial and strap.

　Additionally, the straps are printed with the names of the famous cars that won series championships between 1984 and 1997, paying homage to the cars that won. The straps are dotted with details that will delight fans, such as the carp streamer design of the Nissan R92CP, which competed in the Fuji 1000km race, and the orange band that evokes the nickname "headband" of the R32 Skyline.

Two models commemorating the 30th anniversary of Pro Trek

　The outdoor watches, "Pro Trek PRW-61ANS-3JR" and "Pro Trek PRG-340ANS-3JR," are commemorative models celebrating the 30th anniversary of Pro Trek's founding. Pro Trek's brand concept is "One with Nature." The two 30th anniversary models are designed with a motif of sunlight filtering through the leaves of a forest, symbolizing this concept, and feature a green color representing nature and a 30th anniversary gold color representing light. Other notable details include a gold-ion-plated metal band, the names of past models engraved on the band, and the 30th anniversary logo on the case back, all of which add to the special feel.

　As you'd expect from Pro Trek, the watches are equipped with altimeter, barometer, and compass measurements, ideal for outdoor activities, and combine these to offer a variety of functions, such as storing mountain climbing log data and providing an alarm for sudden changes in barometric pressure. Both models also feature Tough Solar technology. The analog model, Pro Trek PRW-61ANS-3JR, can automatically adjust the time via radio wave reception. The digital model, Pro Trek PRG-340ANS-3JR, offers excellent visibility thanks to its large LCD screen.
