Let's examine each of the intricately detailed dials. At the center are four hands: the hour and minute hands for displaying the time, a crescent-shaped pointer hand indicating the date from 1 to 31 on the dial's outer edge, and achronographsweep second hand for timing.

At 12 o'clock are a 30-minute counter and digital windows for the month and day of the week. At 6 o'clock are a 12-hour counter and the moon phase indicator. At 9 o'clock, a small seconds subdial is positioned on the inner circumference, with a 24-hour display for AM/PM on the outer edge.

The design's ingenuity in consolidating so many functions into a case diameter of just 40mm, while still creating a distinguished dial aesthetic, is also noteworthy. On the silver dial, the blued steel leaf hands elegantly tell the time.

This is a masterpiece truly worthy of the "Master" name, yet its cost performance is also exceptional. Even with an 18K rose gold case, it barely exceeds one million yen. The stainless steel case model can be purchased for an incredible price in the low 400,000 yen range.

For the stainless steel case with a silver dial, you can choose between a stainless steel bracelet or a thick alligator strap. It's also pleasing that the price remains the same regardless of your choice. Through the see-through case back, you can admire the beautifully decorated automatic movement, allowing you to savor the view even after taking off the watch.
