Big Crown (仮)

I was developing this model from 2023 and finished this summer. But always busy so couldn't release this beauty. But finally I can release on the edge of 2024. This hidden gem 6538 which is ancestor of the king of diver watch 5513. True vintage feel and more dressier in my opinion. 

This piece is FullyAged. So vintage aging whole watch. Aging level is naturally middle heavily aged. Pretty beat up by ordinary daily use for 50 years but nothing crazy as diving. And maintain well. I imagined like that to make this vintage aging by my hand. I can make AgeYourself which is only aging on face such as dial, hands and bezel for Made-To-Order.

【 特筆すべきポイント 】

◆ Big crown 8mm without crown guard 

Narrow slim case make this diver very special. Compared with 5513 Diver, more delicate feeling but bezel make this manly again. Really well-balanced.

◆ Wider bezel with red triangle 

Beautiful partly graduation fading to blue and well scratched. 凸凹 side looks like a gear ⚙️ and make this mechanical feel. Like it a lot. And yes, Red triangle is always right?

◆ Circle 369 dial Vintage style Bigger logo

Heavily whiten fading patina with a bit of rusty. Lumes are pumpkined a bit. True vintage feel.

◆ Narrow Mercedes hands with thunder second hand

Tarnished aging hands is also big part of my technique. Tarnished Gold Mercedes hands will be also well-fit with this. Feel free to ask me for it as Made-To-Order. 

◆New developed rivet bracelet. 

Thinner side plate from old type. Which makes more proper vintage feel. And also easier to adjust size too. I can change it to Oyster or Jubilee as Made-To-Order.
