Why It Made The List

An elegant automatic from ex-BEAMS creative director Yoshikage Kajiwara, blending vintage military styling with the cleaner feel of a modern, everyday watch. Produced by LOWERCASE, the 39 mm case is made from 316L stainless steel, paired with a box-shaped acrylic crystal and cyclops date lens that give the dial a convincing old-school look without feeling costume-like. Inside is a Japanese TMI NH35 automatic movement (self-winding, with manual winding if preferred) and up to 41 hours of power reserve. A tapered three-link stainless-steel bracelet, ivory-toned LumiNova and 5 ATM water resistance round things out. Assembled in Japan and supplied in its own box, it’s a sharp, upgraded take on the vintage military watch.

MORE DETAIL

A Japanese-made mechanical watch that brings together vintage military styling and the character of a traditional automatic movement.

Developed in collaboration with LOWERCASE founder Yoshikage Kajiwara, former Creative Director at influential Japanese brand BEAMS, it combines Naval Watch Company's military watch heritage with a more contemporary approach to design.

The 39mm case is made from 316L stainless steel, with a combination of polished and brushed finishes. Its distinctive shape takes inspiration from vintage watches, with original detailing developed specifically for the collection.

A box-shaped acrylic crystal reinforces the vintage appearance, with a magnifying Cyclops lens positioned over the date display at 3 o'clock for improved legibility.

The dial features ivory-coloured LumiNova luminous markings on the numerals, indices and hands. The warmer colour is deliberately chosen for its aged character, with a softer glow and shorter glow duration than conventional luminous finishes.

Inside, a Japanese-made TMI NH35 automatic mechanical movement powers the watch, winding naturally through wrist movement. It also supports manual winding, with a maximum power reserve of approximately 41 hours when fully wound.

The movement has a specified average daily accuracy of +45 to -35 seconds at temperatures between 5°C and 35°C. A transparent screw-down case back allows you to see the mechanical movement inside.

The three-link bracelet is made from 316L stainless steel, tapering from 20mm to 18mm and secured with a double-push stainless steel clasp. Five removable links allow the bracelet to be adjusted from approximately 20cm down to 15cm.

Water resistance is rated to 5 ATM (50 metres), suitable for everyday splashes and general water exposure. The push-pull crown incorporates a double O-ring seal to help protect the movement.

The case measures 39mm in diameter, 46.6mm from lug to lug and 12.9mm thick. The watch weighs approximately 124g.

Assembled in Japan and supplied in a dedicated presentation box.
