The Ricoh Dynamic Auto Deluxe Three Star is a bold expression of Japanese watchmaking from the mid-20th century. With its generous 39mm case size and robust automatic movement, this timepiece was designed to stand out on the wrist while delivering everyday reliability. The cream-toned dial carries a distinctive day-date display at 3 o’clock, complemented by applied indices and bold dauphine hands. The iconic three-star emblem on the dial symbolizes Ricoh’s push into durable, mass-market automatic watches that could compete with global players. Finished with a stainless-steel caseback and paired here with a brown leather strap, it remains a strong representation of Ricoh’s short but fascinating venture into horology.
