Minase Watches launches a new limited series of 25 pieces: Horizon GEN DLC.
In Japanese, GEN is spelled with the kanji character “玄”, which offers several meanings such as depth, darkness, mystery or the color black. With this, these terms perfectly describe the new limited series, a Horizon clad in deep, glossy black DLC (Diamond like Carbon), alternating between brushed and polished areas.
MINASE WATCHES: THE DLC COATING (DIAMOND LIKE CARBON)
Minase has chosen the Horizon model as the ideal expression of this DLC finish. Inspired by the watch’s similarity to the horizon line stretching over the sea and designed with pure, simple lines.
The case, crown, indexes and buckle are DLC-coated. Secondly, this treatment enhances the hardness of 316L steel by depositing fine layers on its various components. DLC treatment offers a great resistance to scratches. It has a Swiss ETA 2892-2 movement.
THE JAPANESE KNOW-HOW
Still, the design of its sides is an influence by a Japanese sword, the Horizon watch combines the calm of the ocean with the strength of the Katana (the Samurai’s sword). Also, the case and bracelet appear on a single plane. The anti-reflective sapphire crystal perfectly follow the curve of the watch.
Therefore, the model will be available for viewing for the first time at the District Time Exhibition in Washington (March 2-3, 2024).
