Divido Shibo-Urushi Metallic Haze 14-M01KA2-SSB Watch

The Watch

The watches from Minase are crafted by true monozukuri - the Japanese art of making. The production process is rigorously overseen in their workshops, carried out by artisans who build every watch by hand. The brand employs a proprietary polishing technique for substrate preparation. Their work rests on the fingertips of highly skilled craftspeople, producing original designs on intricate, reduced surfaces. This 14-M01KA2-SSB watch belongs to the Divido Shibo-Urushi collection, a lineup whose aesthetic inhabits a strange yet magnificent space. It features a round stainless steel case with a polished finish, measuring 40.60 mm in diameter and 11 mm thick, weighing 134 grams - dimensions perfectly suited to the male wrist. The case is topped by a domed sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating, providing strong resistance to scratches and shocks. At 3 o'clock, a crown allows for easy time setting. The model's caseback is transparent, crafted in sapphire crystal, and ensures a water resistance of 5 ATM.

The Dial

This black dial showcases a striking metallic haze created by dusting tin onto hand-crafted Shibo-Urushi by a skilled artist. Its appearance shifts from person to person - it may evoke a winter mountain or a spring mist carried by the wind. Through this model, Minase pays tribute to Japanese art with breathtaking beauty. At the center of the dial, two luminescent hands and a slender grey seconds hand indicate the hours, minutes, and seconds with precision. They sweep over silver baton hour markers and a minute track running along the dial's perimeter. These indicators are coated with a luminescent treatment for easy reading even in low-light environments. The brand signs its creation just below the 12 o'clock index.

The Movement

This timepiece is powered by a Swiss-made KT7002 automatic movement. More precisely, it uses a ETA 2892A2 caliber, reliably driving the hands of this watch. This model is equipped with 21 jewels to minimize friction and oscillates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. Its power reserve stands at 50 hours.

The Bracelet

This bracelet is crafted in stainless steel with a polished finish on the two center rows and a brushed finish toward the edges. It features 5 rows of links in a sleek silver tone that enhances its charm. It fastens securely with a deployant clasp for a confident fit on the wrist.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 5 atmospheres - equivalent to 50 meters - this watch can handle the occasional splash but isn't built for prolonged water exposure. While you can get away with wearing it in the shower now and then, our team of watch specialists strongly recommends keeping it away from H₂O in the bath, pool, or sea to preserve its movement and precision for years to come. In short: no swimming, no diving, and no extended contact with water.
