Crafted exclusively for legendary Japanese retailer Yoshida and capped at just 50 pieces worldwide, this openwork stunner turns telling time into a front-row seat at a mechanical fireworks show. Collectors who already own the “usual suspects” and crave something almost nobody else can pull off will feel right at home here. Think of it as the watch equivalent of a rare pressing that only the real ones recognize.

Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. Carved from featherlight Carbonium and blacked-out titanium, the case wears like a whisper yet looks like a spaceship. Set against that dark shell, a deep blue openwork face shifts through a hundred shades of blue as light rolls across it. Framed by a slim fixed bezel, the skeletal architecture reads less like a dial and more like a window into a living machine.

Functions include hours and minutes. Rather than using hands, the movement itself rotates to tell the time, with the long central bridge sweeping the minutes and a rotating disc tracking the hours. Setting is simple with the pull-out crown at three o’clock: give it a few gentle winds first, then pull the crown to its outer position, turn it to set the time, and push it back flush to the case. Left in its resting position, the crown also hand-winds the automatic UN-230 caliber, which holds up to 72 hours of power reserve. Water resistant to 50 meters, the whole show runs for days off the wrist and springs right back to life.

Comes as a full set, double-boxed with certificate of limited edition, international warranty and UN certification card, limited edition card, five year international warranty upgrade booklet, caliber UN-230 Freak X booklet, and customer service booklet.

Blending haute horlogerie wizardry with a stealthy all-black attitude, this Yoshida exclusive is one of those pieces that stops conversations the moment a cuff lifts. Built for the collector who is older in years but forever young at heart, it rewards anyone who values being early, rare, and just a little bit rebellious. Some watches tell time; a rare few make you feel like you are getting away with something special.
