Leica Launches Limited Edition "Leica M Black Amber" to Commemorate Daimaru's 300th Anniversary
Leica Camera Japan Co., Ltd. will release the special limited edition model "Leica M Black Amber," finished with Wajima's genuine lacquer, at Leica Daimaru Tokyo, Leica Matsuzakaya Nagoya, and Leica Daimaru Shinsaibashi stores, to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the long-established department store Daimaru.
Limited to 50 units, made to order
The "Leica M Black Amber" is a model finished with Wajima's genuine lacquer by skilled artisans, applied to the top cover and base plate of Leica's iconic "Leica M (Typ 240)" model, down to the smallest parts.
The Wajima lacquer is applied in five layers by skilled artisans, and this genuine lacquer finish, with its amber-like transparency, develops a unique character with use, allowing for enjoyment of its aging process.
The gold lettering of the logo, depicted on the front of the camera and the top cover, is also striking.
Four shutter release buttons, adorned with seasonal motifs rendered in *maki-e* lacquer, and a camera body cap finished in red lacquer are included, all presented within a paulownia wood box.
Reservations are scheduled to begin on Saturday, March 25th, from 1:00 PM.
Don't miss this special camera, befitting the milestone of Daimaru's 300th anniversary.
