Bold 1970s Japanese style from Ricoh: a chunky, UFO-shaped case frames a striking green-to-gold “sector/gradient” dial with applied gold batons and faceted hands. The watch carries Ricoh’s 21-jewel automatic movement and the brand’s signature day-date with separate quick-set pushers—great for everyday practicality. A sculpted fixed bezel with inset slots and a domed acrylic crystal complete the very retro look. Signed “R” crown and the lotus emblem on the dial add neat period details.
