Kurono Grand Jubilee Calendar salmon: A Detailed Look
This text details the new Kurono Grand Jubilee calendar in a salmon dial finish. Here’s a breakdown of the key features and details:
Design & Aesthetics:
* Dial: Matte, lightly grained salmon tone, inspired by autumn leaves in Tokyo. Features stamped vertical strokes reminiscent of Asaoka’s higher-end tourbillon models.
* Indications: Triple calendar with date window at 6 o’clock and sunken sub-dials for month and weekday.
* Details: Black railroad minute track and Arabic numerals (pad-printed). Polished, domed, and bent black hands (described as onyx-like, and difficult to obtain).
* Case: (Details not explicitly stated, but implied to be a continuation of the Grand Jubilee design)
Movement:
* Calibre: Miyota 9122 automatic movement.
* Frequency: 4Hz
* Power reserve: Approximately 40 hours.
Strap & Buckle:
* Strap: 20/16mm black calfskin leather.
* Buckle: Classic steel pin buckle.
overall Impression:
The watch aims to bring the design language of Hajime Asaoka’s high-end creations to a more accessible price point. It emphasizes subtle details, classic color combinations, and a focus on quality finishing (notably the hands). The use of a reliable Miyota movement keeps the price reasonable.
