Watch 7 Windows 15-CDLNBL-SSD

The Watch

Founded in the early 20th century, Minase is a watchmaking brand that embodies the very essence of Japanese tradition and craftsmanship through modern, timeless, high-quality timepieces that have earned it a prestigious reputation. From concept to finished product - design, development, and manufacturing - every phase reflects the Japanese principle of "Monozukuri": technological excellence, unparalleled know-how, and a perfectionist spirit. Ocarat is proud to present this stunning 7 Windows Watch 15-CDLNBL-SSD, a three-dimensional model that immerses you in Japanese magnificence. Balancing modernity and subtlety, it commands attention and reveals your unique style with elegance and refinement. It features a rectangular case measuring 38 mm wide and 47 mm long with a thickness of 13 mm, purposefully designed for men's wrists. Weighing 160 g, the case is crafted from 316L stainless steel and finished with a hand-applied polish using the Sallaz technique, an art Minase has mastered. This treatment creates a perfect contrast between mirror-bright and satin-finished zones, lending the overall design an exquisite modern edge. The dial is shielded from impacts and scratches by a double-dome sapphire crystal. The crystal features a multi-layer anti-reflective coating, ensuring a clear, crisp reading of the time at any angle. A polyhedral crown stamped with the brand logo is positioned at 3 o'clock, allowing manual adjustment of the hours, minutes, and date. The case back is secured by four screws and provides water resistance of 5 ATM. Fitted with a sapphire crystal display, it offers an unobstructed view of the fascinating inner workings of the movement.

The Dial

A stunning round dial sits with precision inside the rectangular case, creating a balanced geometric interplay that will captivate you at first glance. It reveals a sunray-brushed surface in a deep navy blue, with brushed lines adding the perfect touch of delicacy and elegance to the watch. Crafted in polished steel, two curved luminescent hands glide smoothly to display the hours and minutes - even in low-light conditions. They are joined by a slender seconds hand that tracks the passing seconds. Secured by four visible screws, an index ring reveals eleven baton hour markers and the brand logo at 12 o'clock, making it easy to read the time while adding a touch of off-beat elegance. The watch's most distinctive and original feature is its exquisite date aperture in sapphire crystal, which offers through its seven windows a luminous view of yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Minase signs its masterpiece just below 12 o'clock with its name.

The Movement

The Minase KT7002 custom caliber, integrated into the dial, brings this watch to life. Based on the ETA 2892 A2, a Swiss automatic movement renowned for its high quality and flawless precision, the caliber features premium finishing and is assembled with lubrication-free MPS bearings in Minase's workshops. With its ETACHRON regulation system, this is a TOP-category, ultra-high-precision execution. Equipped with 21 jewels and beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour - a frequency of 4 Hz - it delivers a power reserve of 50 hours, ensuring smooth and reliable operation of the hands and date aperture for precise, dependable display of hours, minutes, seconds, and the date.

The Strap

Minase chose to equip this timepiece with a genuine crocodile leather strap. It wraps elegantly around your wrist, delivering an exceptional feel and all-day comfort. The strap features a rich blue tone accented by tone-on-tone topstitching in the same shade. Easy and pleasurable to wear, it pairs effortlessly with any outfit, adding that missing touch of elegance and modern sophistication that truly makes the difference. A pin buckle ensures a secure and easy fit at all times.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance of 5 atmospheres, or 50 m. It is designed to be a beautiful, head-turning piece - yet that precious quality in no way compromises its ability to handle everyday life. You can wear it in the shower, though the Ocarat team recommends setting it gently on the edge of the sink to preserve its brilliance and integrity over time. Swimming and scuba diving, however, are strongly discouraged, as prolonged water exposure could damage the watch and lead to repair costs.
