    Unlike regular name engraving on the case back, this is a special service that is only possible with MINASE WATCH, as each watch is made individually. (*It will take about 10 days to complete.)

When you look at the DIVIDO from the front, you will notice that it has a skeleton on all four sides, which is a case-in-case structure. Furthermore, the case and lugs are disassembled, creating a polyhedral shape that would be impossible to achieve with a one-piece case. The DIVIDO2.0 (VM14 series) has undergone a minor change to a movement with a special rotor, making it a more durable watch.

This is MINASE's most impressive new work. The name of the Uruga collection is based on the Japanese word "beautiful." When Japanese people think of "beautiful," they think of elegance, nobility, and spiritual nobility. To explain it to people overseas, the jewels worn by royalty and nobility and the sparkle in the eyes of cool beauty Hollywood actresses are what we call "beautiful" in Japan.
To express this uniquely Japanese beauty, MINASE created the Uruga collection, which resembles the entire watch as a beautiful jewel, featuring a unique clamping structure in which the bezel, glass, and case are clamped between four claws from above and below.

Another distinctive feature of SEVEN WINDOWS is the ridges of the case, which are sharp like the edge of a Japanese sword.
The SALLAZ polishing technique, which manually pursues the opposing beauty of smoothness and sharpness, is truly a miracle of art. The inner case that holds the movement, the three-dimensional dial, and the three-dimensional indexes on the rings make the case-in-case structure look as if they are floating in mid-air, giving off an overwhelming presence that is truly original to MINASE.
