FEATURES

"NH TYPE1E"

　This is the latest addition to the "NH TYPE1" series, NAOYA HIDA & CO.'s first product line. While retaining the basic design of previous models, the case size has been slightly reduced from 37mm to 36mm, and the shape of the sapphire crystal has been changed from curved to domed.

　The silver-colored dial is made of German silver. The small seconds subdial at the 9 o'clock position and the minute marker ring around the outer edge of the dial are assembled as separate parts, creating a three-dimensional effect in the simple design. The elegant Breguet numeral indices are hand-engraved by skilled craftsmen. A lustrous finish is achieved by pouring in cashew lacquer. The three-dimensional hands are made of blued steel.

　The case is made of 904L stainless steel. It features a screw-down case back and is water-resistant to 5 atmospheres, making it safe for everyday use. The movement is a hand-wound Cal.3019SS. The company's unique click and click spring are used to enhance the winding feel. Only 25 pieces of this model are planned to be produced between 2026 and 2027.

"NH TYPE2C-2"

　The "NH TYPE2" series is characterized by its clean design with a center seconds hand. The "NH TYPE2C-2" is the company's first porcelain dial model to be added to this lineup. Without changing the NH TYPE2 series' concept of reinterpreting the modern dress watches of the 1950s and 1960s in a contemporary way, it harmoniously incorporates the porcelain dial that symbolizes the 19th century.

　The dial, fired at high temperatures, has the lustrous texture characteristic of porcelain, and together with the simple indices, it creates a classic look. The brand logo and indices are hand-painted by skilled craftsmen. The hour and minute hands are made of stainless steel, and the second hand is made of blued steel.

　The 904L stainless steel case has a comfortable 37mm diameter. It features a screw-down case back for 5 ATM water resistance. Inside is the Cal.3020CS hand-wound movement with a center seconds hand. Its unique click mechanism and spring provide a smooth winding feel. Only 10 of these watches are scheduled to be produced in 2026.

"NH TYPE3B-4"

　This model from the "NH TYPE3" series, which features a moon phase mechanism, boasts an 18K yellow gold exterior with hand-engraved details. From the lugs to the sides of the case, the entire middle case is adorned with Art Nouveau-style engraving.

　The nickel silver dial, with its separate minute marker ring, features Arabic numeral indices in Art Nouveau style, and a moon phase display at the 6 o'clock position, a symbol of the series. The indices employ a new technique of embossing and then applying gold leaf, harmonizing with the case design. The moon phase display is crafted from a lapis lazuli disc with a hand-carved moon face attached, creating a three-dimensional effect.

　The Cal.3021LU movement is a hand-wound movement whose moon phase can be adjusted via the crown. It boasts a power reserve of approximately 45 hours. Only two of these watches are planned to be produced in 2026.

"NH TYPE5B"

　The new "NH TYPE5B" watch incorporates feedback from wear tests of the rectangular watch "NH TYPE5A," resulting in a more refined and detailed design. The rectangular case, made of 904L stainless steel with a linear design, has been made even more visually balanced by shortening the lugs by 1mm and widening the stepped section on the side by 0.3mm compared to its predecessor.

　The dial design has also been changed. While the previous model only had Arabic numerals at the 12 o'clock position, the new model uses a combination of Arabic numerals and bars, creating a "flying Arabic numeral" index. A minute circle is placed in the center, and a small seconds subdial is positioned at 6 o'clock, giving it a three-dimensional finish. The sapphire crystal glass has a three-dimensional curved shape. The hour and minute hands are made of 18K white gold, and the second hand is made of blued steel.

　The case back, secured with screws at all four corners, is transparent, allowing you to admire the rectangular hand-wound movement, Cal.2524SS, housed inside. Approximately 10 of these watches are scheduled to be produced in 2026.

"NH TYPE5B-1"

　This model adopts a design almost identical to the NH TYPE5B, a new model for 2026, but features an acrylic crystal, which is rare in current models. The acrylic crystal, which is also frequently used in vintage watches, gives it a more classic look. The nickel silver dial features Arabic numeral indices with cashew lacquer poured into them, and the Breguet numeral typeface further enhances the vintage feel. The basic specifications are the same as the NH TYPE5B, including the small seconds subdial with separate second markers, 18K white gold hour and minute hands, and blued steel second hand.

　The case, water-resistant to 3 atmospheres, is made of 904L stainless steel. It is fitted with a calfskin leather strap by Jean Rousseau. The rectangular hand-wound Cal.2524SS movement inside can be admired through the transparent case back. Like other movements used by the company, it is equipped with a unique click and click spring. Approximately 10 of these watches are scheduled to be produced in 2026.

"NH TYPE7A"

　This new model features the Valjoux Cal.23, a renowned movement for hand-wound chronographs. While NAOYA HIDA & CO. has previously used current movements, this model marks their first foray into a vintage movement.

　The nickel silver dial is finished in a three-dimensional way by attaching the outer ring of minute markers as a separate part and assembling the two integrated sub-dial parts from the back. The 3 o'clock position is a 30-minute counter, and the 9 o'clock position is a small seconds subdial. The hour and minute hands for displaying the time and the small seconds hand are finished in gold, while the chronograph seconds hand and the counter hand are finished in blue. Details characteristic of Breguet are incorporated, such as the hand-engraved Breguet numeral indices with cashew lacquer poured in.

　The small stainless steel case has a diameter of 36mm, giving it a vintage watch-like size. It features pump-style pushers and a slim crown, and a screw-down case back ensures 3 ATM water resistance. Approximately 10 of these watches are planned for production in 2026.

"NH TYPE8A"

　This small-diameter dress watch features a newly developed hand-wound Cal.2326SS movement. Its 31mm case diameter evokes the brand's classic timepieces. While considerably smaller by modern standards, the 18mm lug width ensures a balanced fit that is easily wearable for men as well.

　The silver dial, made of German silver, features Breguet numeral indices with cashew lacquer inlay and a separate railway minute circle. The small seconds subdial, positioned a reasonable distance from the center, has its markings made from a separate component. The hour, minute, and second hands are made of blued steel.

　The stainless steel case is paired with a domed sapphire crystal to enhance its vintage feel, and the screw-down case back provides 5 ATM water resistance. The newly developed movement boasts a power reserve of approximately 38 hours and features a unique click and click spring, allowing for a smooth winding experience. Approximately 20 pieces of this model are planned for production in 2026.
