An eccentric and underappreciated gem from the Japanese watchmaking archives, the Ricoh Crystal Automatic (Ref: 611044) features a standout square case, multi-tone dial, and bold detailing. The layered black-and-gold dial includes a 24-hour chapter ring, applied indices, and a framed day-date display at 3 o’clock—all set in a polished square case with Ricoh's distinct styling from the late 1970s.
Powered by a 21-jewel automatic movement and fitted with its original Ricoh-signed crown, caseback, and stainless steel bracelet, this watch is a testament to Ricoh’s design-first approach to affordable mechanical innovation.
