WHY WE CURATED IT:
Most shaped watches are shaped just because. This one has a reason! The case mirrors the heart of Mazda’s legendary rotary engine: the triangular rotor. Complete with details like corner seal mounts and “crown gears” on the dial/subdial. A limited edition commemorating the engine’s history, leading to the 2001 RX-8 launch. Caseback engravings log notable rotary engines, ending with the R26B from the Mazda 787B Group C racecar (first Japanese, and only non-reciprocating piston car to win 24 Hours of Le Mans). Signed Mazda only, but made in collaboration with Seiko using the latter’s VH63A calibre. An ultra-cool piece that’s super relevant in today’s trend of shaped asymmetrical watches, with a bonus backstory for Mazda/automotive fans. With boxes and user guide.
CONDITION:
9.5/10, with hardly visible signs of use, just one shallow hairline on the top of the case. The crystal, dial and hands are clean. Caseback has minor hairlines with clear engravings. Sold with your choice of black or white MyFirstVintage FKM rubber cut-to-size strap and leaf-spring deployant. Or take both straps for a small top-up. Photos show used cut straps; you’ll get fresh uncut ones. Movement in excellent health and is quartz-accurate.
