Divido Shibo-Urushi Metallic Haze 14-RBKKA2-SSD Watch

The Watch

Minase is a Japanese watchmaking brand that stands apart through its artisanal, high-end approach to designing and crafting luxury watches. Based in Japan, the brand conceives and produces every watch entirely by hand, using traditional methods and high-precision manufacturing techniques. In other words, each timepiece is made by true monozukuri - the Japanese art of making. Every watch undergoes rigorous quality and performance testing before reaching the market, ensuring customer satisfaction and the brand's sterling reputation. These models are also produced in strictly limited quantities - just 500 pieces per year - making each one a unique and highly coveted creation among collectors and watch enthusiasts. With that in mind, the brand invites you to discover the 14-RBKKA2-SSD watch from the Divido Shibo-Urushi Metallic Haze collection. It features a 316L stainless steel case weighing 91 grams. Its round form is dressed in a splendid polished grey finish that gives the watch a particularly brilliant appearance. With a diameter of 40.6 mm and a slim 11 mm thickness, it fits comfortably on the male wrist. The dial nestled at its center is covered by a domed sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective treatment, offering excellent scratch resistance and outstanding legibility. The sapphire crystal caseback reveals the movement within while ensuring a water resistance of 5 ATM. At 3 o'clock, a beautifully crafted crown allows for easy time adjustment.

The Dial

This watch features a black dial that pays tribute to unrivaled craftsmanship and expertise. It celebrates Japanese artistry through a spectacular, ever-shifting metallic haze that changes in appearance depending on who is admiring it. This finish is created by dusting tin onto the Shibo-Urushi surface - it can evoke a winter mountain or a spring mist carried by the wind. This magnificent backdrop is adorned by baton hour markers, swept by two main hands and an ultra-fine seconds hand indicating hours, minutes, and seconds. All indicators share one thing in common: they are all coated with a luminescent treatment for optimal legibility in dark or low-light environments. The dial's edge features a minute track - represented by small white dashes on black borders - allowing precise time reading. Finally, the brand authenticates its creation at 12 o'clock.

The Movement

Powered by an automatic self-winding movement, this watch performs reliably even in the most demanding conditions. The KT7002 caliber from Minase is based on the Swiss ETA 2892/A2 ébauche. High-end in every respect, it features hand-finished surfaces with perlage, blued screws, bridges with diamond-polished bevels, and a main plate. Running at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations/hour (4 Hz), it ensures perfectly smooth hand movement and precise timekeeping. With a 50-hour power reserve, the movement - assembled with lubrication-free MPS bearings - delivers an additional 12 hours of autonomy. It is also fitted with 21 jewels.

The Bracelet

This watch is fitted with an ethylene propylene diene (EPDM) rubber strap. Supple and comfortable, it is equally durable thanks to its quality construction. The rich black color adds an elegant touch to your wrist and everyday outfits. A deployant clasp serves as the fastening, allowing for quick and easy adjustment.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 50 meters - or 5 ATM in watchmaking terms - this timepiece can handle the occasional splash but prefers to stay dry. You can wear it in the shower from time to time, but to protect the quality and precision of the movement, our watch specialists strongly advise keeping it well away from H₂O in the bath, pool, or ocean. In short: no swimming, no diving, and no prolonged water contact or immersion.
