WHY WE CURATED IT:
Most shaped watches are shaped just because. This one has a reason! The asymmetric triangle case is designed after Mazda’s rotary engine rotor, complete with details like corner seal mounting points, crown gear rings for the dial/24-hour subdial, and carbon-weave texture backdrop. A limited edition commemorating rotary engine history leading to the 2001 RX-8 launch. Caseback engraving logs notable Mazda rotary engines, ending with the R26B which powered 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 collab with Seiko using the latter’s VH63A calibre. A super cool piece in killer condition with boxes and user guide. Mazda/automotive fans rejoice!
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 and/or white FKM rubber cut-to-size strap and leaf-spring deployant from MyFirstVintage. Or take both for a small top-up.
