In Japanese, "Kakume" translates roughly to "square eyes." And like two square, satin silver eyes, the sub registers of this colossal chronograph stare back at you from their recessed position beneath the rich cobalt blue dial. This example from April of ‘76 is about as good as it gets. The dial is virtually flawless, and captivates from every angle. The subtle sunburst finish is framed in black, and set with polished applied markers striped in white. The square sub registers are a soft silver, satin finished in a north south grain. The pencil style hour and minute hands are long a lean in flat black with white tips and their original luminous intact. The chronograph hands have retained their original bright orange hue and standout beautifully against the surrounding blue and silver. The matching bezel insert is incredibly well preserved showing only the slightest signs of wear and no fading. The case is a hooded hexagonal tonneau with crisp lines and the original factory finishes still intact. The chronograph pushers offer responsive action with a snappy reset. It’s unpolished and completely original aside from a replacement crystal, and post service is keeping near perfect time. We’ve paired it with a smooth midnight blue leather with orange stitching for a stunning combo that’s sure to be fast favorite on any roster.
