The Watch

The Yukihira Black Gradation Dial is a limited release of 77 pieces. This exquisite model showcases the pinnacle of Japanese craftsmanship through a dial created via electroforming—an intricate process that captures a subtle Yukihira pattern and finishes it with a deep black gradation that reveals hints of purple under shifting light. The dial ring is finished in ion-plated black, with the drill mark—Minase’s signature—polished to a brilliant silver shine with the sallaz finishing technique. The iconic case, with its 7 sapphire glass windows, offers a 360° view of the dial and movement.

Celebrating Japan

Since its creation in 2005, Minase has had two goals: creating timepieces that will still be revered a century from now and paying tribute to their home country’s rich heritage, culture and crafts. With a deep respect for traditional techniques and an unrelenting drive to innovate, the brand has developed and mastered signature elements such as the case-in-case structure or the sallaz polishing technique, earning global recognition across Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia.

With its rich history, uncompromising values, and unyielding pursuit of beauty and precision, Minase continues to prove that small-scale Japanese craftsmanship can resonate powerfully on the global stage—20 years strong and just getting started.
