Divido Shibo-Urushi Scarlet Illusion Watch 14-RBKKA1-SSD

The Watch

Driven by a resolutely Japanese philosophy rooted in the values of the "Monozukuri" principle, prestigious brand Minase has secured its place at the very top of the watchmaking world. Captivating watch enthusiasts and those seeking a truly beautiful and unique timepiece alike, each of its creations pays homage to Japanese tradition and excellence - from the initial design concept to the final manufacture. These are high-quality artisanal watches that mesmerize with their refined finish and consistently distinguished design, as exemplified by this magnificent Scarlet Illusion 14-RBKKA1-SSD model. From the Divido Shibo-Urushi collection, it is the result of purely perfectionist handwork and meticulous attention to the finest details, making this timekeeping instrument a true work of art. Designed to elegantly grace men's wrists, it adds a finely artistic modern touch to your look, setting you apart with quiet authority. Its round case is crafted in 316L stainless steel and features satin-finished and polished curves achieved through the renowned Sallaz technique - a traditional treatment that Minase has mastered. Weighing 91 g, it boasts a diameter of 40,60 mm and a thickness of 11 mm - ideal dimensions for comfortable, enjoyable everyday wear. Featuring an anti-reflective treatment, a domed sapphire crystal sits over the dial to protect it from shocks and scratches while delivering flawless legibility from every angle. A crown at 3 o'clock, as watchmaking tradition dictates, allows you to set the hours and minutes as desired. Finally, the sapphire crystal caseback ensures water resistance to 50 meters while offering a window into the watch's inner movement.

The Dial

The undeniable artistic highlight of this watch is its captivating round dial. Inspired by the Japanese three-dimensional puzzle, it is lacquered and hand-painted with layers of Shibo-Urushi. The contrast between the depth of black and the fiery brilliance of red tones creates an illusionist effect that will mesmerize every onlooker - a sumptuous texture you'll never tire of. At the center, two polished hands in grey animate to display the hours and minutes, even in low-light conditions, thanks to their luminescent coating. They are joined by a slender grey seconds hand. The periphery features a minute track and eleven luminescent baton-style hour markers to help you read the time at a glance. Twelve o'clock is marked by the Minase logo for a more sophisticated touch, with the brand's name signed just below.

The Movement

The watch is powered by a Swiss-made automatic movement renowned for its outstanding quality and flawless performance. Specifically, the caliber KT7002, based on ETA 2892/A2, is customized in-house. Minase assembles all its movements with lubrication-free MPS bearings, equipped with the standard ETACHRON regulator system - a TOP-grade execution of the highest precision. The caliber features 21 jewels and beats at 28,800 vph, a frequency of 4 Hz. With a 50-hour power reserve, it keeps the hands running accurately and reliably in any circumstance.

The Strap

A rubber strap attaches on both sides of the case, giving the watch a sporty, modern edge. Crafted in EPDM rubber and finished in a deep black with a distinctive Minase pattern design, it makes a bold statement once worn. Supremely supple and comfortable for everyday wear, it pairs effortlessly with any outfit - from casual to polished. Easy to operate, it features a stainless steel deployant buckle for all-day security and peace of mind.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance of 5 atmospheres, or 50 m. Built to be as stunning as it is resilient, it holds its own against the elements. You can keep it on in the shower, though the Ocarat team recommends setting it aside near the sink to preserve its brilliance and integrity over the long term. For swimming and scuba diving, we strongly advise against using this watch to avoid damage and potential repair costs.
