Mastercraft J3
Minase has introduced the Mastercraft J3, a contemporary reinvention of its earlier M3 model, focusing on a refined and compact design. This new watch features a 37mm stainless steel case and a sand-textured dial available in grey, beige, and black, powered by the Japanese Miyota 90S5 automatic movement. The J3 represents a more accessible entry point for the brand, with pricing significantly lower than its other collections.
- 37mm x 9.9mm stainless steel case
- Miyota 90S5 automatic movement
- 42-hour power reserve
- 50m water resistance
- Available in grey, beige, and black dial colors
- Priced starting around $2,050
The J3's case measures 37mm x 9.9mm, a reduction from the original M3's 38.8mm x 10.8mm dimensions.
The Mastercraft J3's 37mm case with a 9.9mm profile is noticeably slimmer than the M3, giving it different proportions and a slightly more introverted character.
The case features circular brushing on the lugs and Sallaz polishing on the flanks and bezel.
The case finishing includes a mix of circular brushing and manual Sallaz polishing, creating distortion-free mirror surfaces.
The use of the Miyota 90S5 movement allows for the J3's 9.9mm thickness and contributes to its new entry-level price point of $2,150.
The Miyota 90S5 movement is a 24-jewel caliber running at 28,800 vibrations per hour with approximately 42 hours of power reserve.
