Inspired by one of Minase’s earliest creations, The Mastercraft J3 collection gathers all Minase ingredients : precision engineering, meticulous hand-finishing and timeless proportions. Every line has been refined, every surface considered. The result is a mechanical watch that expresses the quiet elegance of Japanese craftsmanship.
The Mastercraft J3 is available in three dial colors: white, beige and grey, all developed to create subtle depth and a soft interaction with light depending in the viewing angle and environment. Sharp-cut hands create a refined contrast against the sand-textured dial surface, adding subtle dimensionality to the minimalist design. To enhance the visibility, both indexes and the hands are treated with blue luminescent material.
The J3 offers a variety of interchangeable strap options, allowing wearers to personalize their watch thanks to a one-touch quick-change system for effortless interchangeability. Additional straps and bracelets may be purchased separately.
For the first time in the brand’s history, Minase’s J3 series features a Japanese movement. The J3 is powered by the MIYOTA 90S5 automatic movement. Made by Citizen and launched in 2019, it is a popular and reliable engine and consists in an affordable alternative to Swiss calibers.
