The Original Experience. Bringing Back the True "Watch Experience."

Winding a pocket watch, and an automatic movement when worn on the wrist. Keeping time. A mechanical model for "feeling" time.

A reproduction of the Type 100 Pilot's Watch used by the Imperial Japanese Army in the 1940s. The kanji character for "time" is engraved at the 12 o'clock position on the dial, and the words "Ichinichi Maki" (one-day wind) and "Hikō Tokei" (pilot's watch) are faithfully reproduced at the 6 o'clock position. The only difference from the original is that the dial has a three-dimensional effect and a curved surface. The teardrop-shaped hands add a subtle touch of charm to the design. (The photo at the bottom right of the image above is of an actual original Type 100 Pilot's Watch being worn.)

This watch is a homage to a British-made watch from 1904. The dial features Roman numerals. The accuracy of watches, a matter of life and death, improved dramatically. While war was one reason, railways were involved even before that. As the railway network developed in the UK, each railway company maintained its own time based on the time set at its head office, and at major interchange stations, the times of each company were displayed. This led to frequent confusion regarding connections and transfers. In the US, during the era of single-track operation, collisions and accidents occurred frequently, resulting in loss of life. To reduce accidents, a common standard time was needed. By 1848, railway companies agreed on a standard time based on Greenwich Mean Time, and people began to set their watches to this time. Because this watch is made with design as the top priority, its luminous function is somewhat modest.

This is a reproduction of a 1942 U.S.-made Royal Navy pocket watch. It is a U.S.-made nautical wristwatch produced for the British Navy during World War II, housed in a wooden box and used as a deck clock. It served as a master nautical watch (standard ship's clock). It features a simple yet highly legible dial. The Broad Arrow mark, indicating British government ownership, is engraved at the 12 o'clock position. This product prioritizes design, so it does not have a luminous function.

This model was the inspiration for this series and project. We have faithfully reproduced the AN5740 pocket watch, an indispensable piece among US military navigation watches. The AN5740 was developed in the 1940s during World War II and was used as a master watch by the Army, Navy, and Air Force. This product's size and design have been reproduced with the premise of looking stylish when worn as a wristwatch.
The hour markers are arranged with 1-24 hour notation on the inner circle, and the second markers are marked in 5-second increments on the outer circle. It uses a movement from Ronda, Switzerland. G.C.T on the dial stands for (Greenwich Civil Time). The large dial makes it easy to read the time even on a 24-hour clock.

Among the many AN5740 series, the iconic dial has been featured on the cover of the M.R.M.W. catalog for many years.
Unlike the black dial AN5740 among U.S. military navigation watches, this is a reproduction of a dial that is said to be a "phantom" among collectors, with only a very small number still in existence. It is truly rare, and it is certain that it was issued to only a few pilots embarking on long-range strategic bombing missions. By dividing the 24-hour dial into black and white (cream and black), it offers high visibility and an intuitively designed dial that allows for easy recognition of AM and PM.
Due to its large dial, it is easy to read the time even on a 24-hour watch. The meaning of "B.J.B." written on the dial is still unknown. There is a theory that it is named after a strategic bombing unit called "Berlin Japan Bomber."
