{"product_id":"mune-usuki浅黄","title":"MUNE USUKI(浅黄）","description":"\u003cp\u003eMUNE USUKI(浅黄) is a watch that brings together the functional beauty of a field watch with the architectural aesthetics of traditional Japanese design.\u003cbr\u003eThe model name “MUNE” refers to the ridge of a roof in Japanese architecture—the highest line that runs along the top and unifies the entire structure. In watchmaking, the 12 o’clock position likewise represents the origin of time and the visual apex of the dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy drawing a parallel between these two meanings, the index at 12 o’clock has been shaped to evoke the ridge of a traditional roof. It serves as an orientation marker indicating the top of the dial while subtly introducing an architectural motif inspired by Japanese structures. \u003cbr\u003e(\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e■ Design Application No. 2026-009337)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe applied Arabic numeral indices are three-dimensionally formed and finished in black. Their strong contrast against the pale USUKI dial ensures excellent legibility, while the subdued tone of the indices brings a refined sense of balance to the dial.\u003cbr\u003eThe dial color itself is based on Usuki, a traditional Japanese hue. Slightly warmer than a typical ivory tone, the color was achieved through repeated prototyping and subtle adjustments. The result is a soft and elegant shade that brings a quiet warmth to the classic field watch aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA finely printed minute track runs along the outer edge of the dial. Luminous paint is applied at the 3, 6, 9, and 12 o’clock positions, allowing these cardinal points to glow softly in low-light conditions and further enhancing legibility.\u003cbr\u003eThe hour and minute hands are sculpted baton-style hands with a subtle raised ridge running through their center. This ridge line echoes the architectural ridge of a traditional roof—the very inspiration behind the model’s name—adding a quiet structural presence to the dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe seconds hand is finished in heat-blued steel, creating a calm visual accent against the warm tone of the USUKI dial. Its luminous counterweight is shaped to resemble the great roof of Kaminarimon Gate in Asakusa, subtly incorporating a symbolic element of the district’s architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe case measures 38mm in diameter and 9.5mm in thickness, with a 46mm lug-to-lug length that allows the watch to sit naturally on the wrist. While maintaining the refined proportions of a classic dress watch, the case also offers 100 meters of water resistance, making it suitable for both everyday wear and outdoor environments.\u003cbr\u003eThe top of the bezel and the sides of the case feature a fine brushed finish, while the bezel edge and the front surfaces of the case are mirror polished. This contrast of finishes creates a subtle interplay of light and depth across the case.\u003cbr\u003eInside beats the Japanese-made Miyota 9039 automatic movement, known for its reliability and stable performance—perfectly suited for a practical everyday watch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KIWAME TOKYO ASAKUSA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50088830042305,"sku":"KT201","price":92400.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0838\/0068\/6785\/files\/white_front.jpg?v=1774578027","url":"https:\/\/kiwametokyo.com\/en\/products\/mune-usuki%e6%b5%85%e9%bb%84","provider":"KIWAME TOKYO ASAKUSA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
