There was underrated “Pre Daytona” 6034 - 6238 before legendary 6238 - 6263. I love those engraved Tachymeter SS bezel leads to 16520 - 116520. And black Bakelite bezel leads to 116500. Basically that was the ancestors of legendary chronograph.
I love this model because of this beautiful complicated dial. I love 3 eyes chronograph of course and Tachymeter and also Telemeter too. I mean I don’t use even Chronograph. But it’s pretty cool to see it.
New developed domed slim plexiglass fits perfectly. “Pre” has simple SS bezel without engraving. So high top domed glass makes this case too fat.
This stock model is “The First” of this model. So I made with special engraving on back. It will be memorial model of KATABAMI history. 「初号機」is The First in Japanese and same word as legendary Japanese anime movie 「エヴァンゲリオン」”Evangelion”

◆ General
I make this case adjusting one by one by my hand. To look perfectly shaped. Based on my craftsmanship and artisan senses. I promise you it’s absolutely beautiful from every angle. But it will be slightly different each piece. I think it’s good taste of handmade and craftsmanship. But please notice that.
And I want you to enjoy 100% of this watch. So only option is only “ FullyAged “ and “ AgeYourself ” is no longer available. I spent more than 1 year to make this beautiful thin & small 36.5mm shape and spend another 1 year for update all specs & techniques for this. So I’m very particular and emotionally involved about this model. I am pretty sure you can enjoy a lot of this.
I can make it as your preference "Light Vintage" or "Heavily Vintage" with my taste. Or you can send me preference pictures of vintage aging. Please ask me before order about those if you wanted.
*Vintage aging on face as dial & hands are all hand vintage aged. Not print or factory produced. I make them vintage every piece by hand one by one. Every piece is unique piece. I can make similar vintage but never been a same.
