The case, band, and dial of this product are designed based on the concept of the horizon seen from Tokyo. The case has a solidity that looks like it was carved out of a block of metal, and the design has no bezel (glass edge), giving it a relaxed look. In addition, the highly polished finish creates a distortion-free mirror surface. The newly developed bracelet, which smoothly connects to the case, combines mirror-finished and hairline-finished links at short intervals, creating a design with striking horizontal lines and a comfortable wearing experience befitting a luxury watch.

The index ring with a sparkling edge has a three-dimensional minute scale layout, and the hour scale is decorated with Lumibrite. The 12 o’clock index and the counterweight of the second hand are designed in the silhouette of the initial letter “V” of “VANAC”.

It is also robust enough to be included in a diver’s watch. The rotating weight and bridge have a beautiful wave pattern that gives it a luxurious feel. Due to the passage of time, the scenes of Tokyo that show a variety of
expressions are expressed with bold coloring
