Introduction model overview
Automatic (Cal. ETA2824-2 + ROCS 3.5 module). 47 jewels. 28,800 vph. Power reserve approximately 36 hours. Ti (diameter 44mm, thickness 15mm). Water resistant to 3 bar. 4.2 million yen (excluding tax).
This model features regulator-type minute and hour hands, as well as subdials such as the date, day of the week, and thermometer, all rotating within an oil-filled sapphire crystal. Each subdial displays information using a hand drawn on an independent disc, but because the oil inside the crystal refracts light, the dial appears to the wearer as a single painting. The way they move is almost like a single animation.
The movement used is the Cal. ETA2824-2, a typical general-purpose movement, and is combined with the in-house developed module ROCS 3.
