Its round case measures 40.50 mm in diameter and 12.00 mm thick, weighing 150 g - ideal proportions for a comfortable, effortless fit on any occasion. Crafted from 316L stainless steel, it boasts a hand-polished finish using the Sallaz technique with satin-finished curves, delivering a radiant, balanced, and striking effect. A polyhedral crown sits elegantly on the case, allowing you to set the hours and minutes at will. A domed sapphire crystal sits over the dial, protecting it from shocks and scratches that could compromise both its function and beauty. Its anti-reflective coating ensures clear, comfortable time reading at any angle. On the caseback, a sapphire crystal exhibition back guarantees 5 ATM water resistance while offering an admirable view of the movement within.

The Dial

A captivating round dial sits at the heart of the case, lending an air of sophistication and distinction to the watch while drawing every eye your way. Hand-painted with Urushi lacquer and dusted with silver Makie for a striking dimensional effect, its blue background brings the understated, refined glow of a starlit sky to your wrist. At the center, a slender gray seconds hand sweeps through its course to keep you informed of every passing second. Two polished, curved hands with luminescent coating follow to indicate the hours and minutes - even in low-light conditions. The black bezel frames a minute track graduated with white markers and separated by eleven luminescent indexes. Noon is marked by the brand's logo as a signature, adding a modern, offbeat touch. Finally, Minase places its name just below.

The Movement

Housed within the case and revealed through the transparent caseback, the caliber KT7002 brings this Divido to life, ensuring the smooth, accurate motion of its hands. Developed in Switzerland and personalized by the brand, this automatic movement is based on the ETA 2892/A2 and is renowned for its outstanding quality and unwavering precision. In their workshops, Minase assembles movements with MPS bearings, lubrication-free. The calibers feature ETACHRON regulation systems - an ultra-high-precision execution, TOP category. With its 21 jewels and a frequency of 4 Hz, i.e. 28,800 vibrations/hour, it delivers reliable and accurate reading of hours, minutes, and seconds. Its power reserve ensures an autonomy of 50 hours.

The Bracelet

The watch is fitted with a 316L stainless steel bracelet that strikes a perfect balance between elegance and sportiness. It features five alternating rows of brushed links and polished links for a more captivating look and all-day comfort. Easy to wear and effortless to style, it adds a modern, refined edge to any look and becomes the subtle detail that elevates your wrist. With a 48 mm lug-to-lug width, it features a deployant clasp for easy fastening and added security during wear.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance of 5 atmospheres, equivalent to 50 m. It is designed to be a thing of beauty that shines in any setting - yet that precious character in no way diminishes its ability to handle the elements. You can keep this model on in the shower, though the Ocarat team recommends leaving it gently on the edge of the sink to preserve its brilliance and integrity over time. As for swimming and scuba diving, we strongly advise against wearing this watch in such conditions to avoid damage and the repair costs that may follow.
