When the first-ever reproduction project was launched, it was planned to be equipped with a hand-wound movement in order to faithfully reproduce the original, but at the time it was difficult to arrange a movement that matched the accuracy, reliability, and price, so while the appearance faithfully reproduced the original, the movement was replaced with a quartz movement, which is more rational in terms of maintenance and accuracy. Many users have said, “I would like to see a reprint of the hand-wound Camper like the original,” and in 2021, the MK1 Mechanical, a hand-wound model with a stainless steel case, was released as a derivative model of the Camper. In Japan, pre-orders sold out immediately after we started accepting reservations, and when it went on sale to the general public the following month, it was very popular and sold out on the official website the same day. This time, based on such a popular model, while inheriting the original military watch design such as the dome-shaped acrylic windshield and hand-wound movement, we have updated the dial design and hands to make it more modern and easy to read. The original Camper had a resin case and lugs that were integrally molded, but in this product, the case material has been upgraded to stainless steel, and the lugs have been changed to a standard shape, making it possible to replace them with commercially available straps such as leather or nylon. The
specifications and design are now more versatile. [Product Overview] MK1 Hand Wind TW2Y07900 ¥36,000 (tax excluded) ¥39,600 (tax included)

While the basic design follows the original Camper, the dial font and minute markers have been updated to give a sharper impression. Equipped with a 20-jewel hand-wound movement inside, it is both practical and romantic. The new MK1 Handwind has an updated dial design to match modern styles, while the interior features a traditional hand-wound movement and a rounded dome-shaped acrylic windshield. This combination has the intention of “I want people to feel the relationship with time and watches through the act of winding them by hand every day to keep them moving,” in an age of advanced digitalization and convenience.
