Kurono 2024 Anniversary Reiwa

On the 5th Anniversary of the brand, the folks at Kurono Tokyo released the ‘Ruri-Numa’ (瑠璃沼) under their Grand Series.

The green on the dial is what Kurono calls, a blend of lapis-green metallic colour which I absolutely love. I am not a "green" person but this green is exceptional. Love it!

According to their website, the dial is probably the most difficult they have encountered to date as they need to ensure the right contrast and right hue.

The centre of the dial is a pitch black, almost lacquer like... at the right angle, the reflective surface is obvious. The only other time they have done this combination is with the first Reiwa Copper back in 2019.

Details are not lost on this last version of Reiwa too - well polished indices...

And the comparison of the seconds hand underside finishing...

And another angle showing the counter point on the seconds hand... certainly well finished and polished - three ticks!

There is everything to like about the Anniversary Reiwa - the colour, the finishing and the overall aesthetics.

Fully sold out within minutes of launch, the 2024 Anniversary Reiwa is definitely a timepiece worth its weight in gold. I hope you like the photos of the Reiwa.
