The black dial features a speckled finish designed to evoke the Tokyo skyline at night, with sparkles mimicking city lights or stars.
The dial's pattern is subtle, with horizontal grooves from other steel Vanac models toned down to let the speckles take center stage.
The case measures 41mm in diameter and 45mm in length, with a 14.3mm thickness partly due to a signature protruding, box-shaped sapphire crystal.
The integrated stainless steel bracelet tapers towards a butterfly clasp and is described as high-quality and comfortable.
The Seiko 8L45 movement, based on the Grand Seiko 9S65, is visible through a sapphire case back and features refined striped finishing.
The dial's glitter-like particles are not aventurine but are intended to evoke Tokyo's city lights.
The case is sharply defined with strong lateral polished shoulders, bold facets, and brushed accents, and the watch is bezel-free.
The watch is a regular production model, not limited in quantity.
