These two new watches are named after and inspired by the Japanese word ‘Akebono’. This word refers to the twilight time at dawn when the sky lightens at sunrise. This time of day is very special to many as it is a time of anticipation and new expectations. Both of the timepieces exhibit a three-dimensional dial that is detailed with a traditional ‘Asanoha’ Japanese hemp leaf pattern. This pattern is a symbol of growth and success, giving these timepieces a higher level of meaning. Each of the timepieces exhibits a graduated blue dial that has been designed in the hues of the morning sky. Each model is adorned with rose gold indices and hands which resemble rays of light shining through a twilight sky. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This model is the more complex of the two watches in this launch. The dial features a power reserve indicator and day-date display alongside a GMT hand. This additional hand allows the time to be shown in two time zones. The dial and its features are protected by sapphire glass and framed by a black bezel. The calibre 6R64 automatic movement that powers this watch provides up to 45 hours of power reserve. This movement is housed within a stainless steel case that has been treated with a black hard coating. The watch is completed with a stainless steel bracelet that is finished with a matching black hard coating. This model is water resistant up to 10 bar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This model exhibits a more minimalist and cleaner dial design. The dial has all of the stunning texture and colour of the previous watch, but with fewer complications. A date aperture is positioned at 3 o’clock, ensuring the wearer can keep perfect time. This model is powered by a calibre 6R35 automatic movement that provides an impressive power reserve of up to 70 hours. This movement is accurate to -15\/+25 seconds per day. The design of this timepiece is completed with a stainless steel case and bracelet that are finished with a matching black hard coating. This model is also water resistant up to 10 bar, making it a practical and elegant choice for everyday wear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These watches are now available for pre-order with delivery expected in January 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
