[Openwork Elegant Watch] The aesthetic of a leather jacket and an elegant watch

Simply sticking to the classics won't update your style. The strength of a casual leather jacket and the calm elegance of an elegant watch. By deliberately layering two different looks, your outfit will achieve a new balance. Strength enhances elegance, and elegance leads strength to refinement. This "magic of a gap" is the aesthetic befitting adults who are in tune with the sensibilities of the times. The combination of a leather jacket and an elegant watch offers hints for evolving a classic. Here, we will present the "optimal solution" styling divided into six categories.

The open structure and olive suede complement each other.

　Rado's True Square Skeleton features an open skeleton structure that opens up the field of view. This timepiece is impressive for its refined appearance thanks to its matte-finished high-tech ceramic case and monobloc structure. The regular movement of the movement is visible in three dimensions, making the presence of the watch itself the focal point of the outfit. It is paired with a lambskin jacket inspired by the L-2B. The muted olive color blends well with the visibility of the skeleton, and the difference in texture enhances its appeal.

　Rado's True Square Skeleton makes the internal structure visible, transforming complexity into a tranquil form. The horizontal lines of the sandblasted movement create depth, while the high-tech ceramic case with a matte plasma finish gives it a strong outline. This watch is paired with a leather jacket made of leather in a different color from the standard.

　Alma's shirt jacket, crafted from lambskin suede, features a striking pale color called "Misty Lilac." The flap pockets on the chest add a casual touch while also showcasing the refinement unique to leather. The straightforward silhouette of the regular fit broadens the range of styles (Photo 1). Heril's masterpiece, based on the L-2B flight jacket, features a striking olive lambskin suede. While incorporating traditional military design elements such as a cigarette pocket and a front storm flap, it has an urban finish with a subdued earthy feel (Photo 2). Redelli's trucker jacket is crafted from lambskin suede in a striking deep blue called "Dark Wave." The cuffs and back hem are finished with leather ribbing in the same color, creating a unified and luxurious look (Photo 3).

　A watch with a visible structure and a leather jacket with a telling color. By layering the two together, the outfit is not strong or flashy, but rather leads to a distinct individuality. The functional beauty of the skeleton harmonizes with the white space of the colored leather, bringing depth to a sophisticated look.
