What to know

The Kubo Momiji places a small maple leaf inside the hollow of its off-centre seconds display. Finished in the same red as the surrounding lacquer, the motif becomes visible through changes in light and shadow. Brushed applied numerals provide contrast, while the small-seconds hand carries a counterweight inspired by Asakusa’s Kaminarimon gate.

Its steel case is 37 mm wide and 10.7 mm thick including the domed sapphire. A Miyota 82S5 automatic movement provides approximately 42 hours of power. Preorders open on 17 November 2026 at 09:00 JST, with deliveries expected from January 2027. The reported price is US$630 before taxes.
