This Ricoh Supertimes is a charming vintage Japanese automatic from the mid-20th century, known for its simple gold dial, clean indices, and reliable 17-jewel movement. Ricoh’s mechanical watches from this era were built with a focus on robustness and everyday practicality, and this example reflects that philosophy well.

The gold-tone dial carries a minimalist layout punctuated by small applied markers and a red dot at 12 o’clock—an unusual detail that gives the watch a subtle personality. The polished case has a slim, classic profile, making it easy to wear on any wrist. This piece runs on Ricoh’s in-house automatic calibre, a movement appreciated for its durability and straightforward serviceability.

Paired with a textured brown strap, the watch delivers the warmth and character collectors look for in affordable Japanese vintage. A well-preserved, functional mechanical Ricoh is becoming harder to find, making this a great entry point into vintage automatics.
