A beautifully preserved piece of Japanese horological history, this Ricoh Crystal stands out with its bold case geometry and deep black dial, accented with luminous pips and a vibrant red maple emblem above the 6 o’clock mark. The gold-toned hands, paired with a contrasting silver minute track, give the dial clarity and vintage charm in equal measure.
This is a 38mm automatic timepiece with day-date complication, featuring 21 jewels and an in-house Ricoh movement. The octagonal case shape is classic Ricoh—distinctive yet wearable—with a brushed stainless steel case and original stretch bracelet that bears the Ricoh branding on the clasp. The caseback reads “Water Resistant / Shockproof / All Stainless Steel / Antimagnetic,” underlining the brand’s commitment to durability and everyday functionality.
This NOS (New Old Stock) example has never been worn and retains all original parts, including the factory sticker on the clasp. A perfect choice for collectors seeking a unique design from the golden era of Japanese watchmaking.
