A Dial Where the Internal Structure is Deliberately Incorporated into the Design
The dial design, which imparts a stylish and sharp impression, was a particular focus for this model. Instead of hiding the solar panel, which features 70s-inspired geometric graphics, it has been deliberately exposed. "As the theme for this model was 'solar,' the first thing that came to mind was the solar panel on a calculator. We wanted to challenge ourselves by exposing the black solar cells, which have traditionally been hidden in watches," says Yuichi Furuya, Chief Buyer at BEAMS, who was involved in its creation.
The newly announced models come in three types: "Sports," "Dress," and "Standard." Each offers a different impression solely based on the case color, making them not only selectable according to individual styles but also appealing for their versatility to match one's mood for the day.
