"Daytona" PT
"Ref.116506" Ice blue dial

The Rolex Daytona Ref. 116506 is made of platinum (PT) , a material that is difficult to process and polish and is therefore only used in the most premium models.

Featuring a chestnut brown Cerachrom bezel and a refreshing ice blue color scheme, this watch has been immensely popular since its release in 2013, the 50th anniversary of the Daytona. It was discontinued when its successor, the Ref. 126506, was announced at Watches and Wonders Geneva in 2023, but many people were relieved that no major design changes were made.

The "ice blue" color is a fitting watch for Yanagida, one of the most handsome players in the baseball world. With the strength of his wrist, the weight of the platinum will not be an issue at all! It's a watch that is fitting for Yanagida, who is a top-class player in both name and reality!

The third person I would like to introduce is the first triple crown winner of the Reiwa era, Player: Munetaka Murakami .

Murakami has hit 56 home runs in a season, the most by a Japanese player, breaking the record held by baseball legend Oh Sadaharu. Furthermore, at the young age of 22, he also achieved the feat of becoming the first triple crown winner in the Reiwa era, the youngest player in NPB history to do so. To commemorate this achievement, a commemorative monument was recently completed at the spot where his 56th home run landed in the final game of last season (near the middle of the right field stands). The model worn by Murakami, who has achieved such an accomplishment, is

"Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph" SS
"Ref.5990/1A-001" Black gradient dial

The Patek Philippe Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph, Ref. 5990/1A-001, with a stainless steel case, was released as a new model in 2014 .

The "travel time mechanism" installed allows you to distinguish between day and night through the small windows "HOME" at the 3 o'clock position and "LOCAL" at the 9 o'clock position, and you can instantly move forward or backward one hour and set LOCAL TIME (local time) with the up and down push buttons on the 9 o'clock side of the case. Furthermore, since the date display at the 12 o'clock position is also linked, there is no need to adjust the date separately, and the black gradation of the dial gives it a modern and cool impression that has not been seen in previous Nautilus models.

On Murakami's Instagram, he often posts charming photos that give a glimpse into "Murakami's everyday life," but the watch he wears is that of a "dignified veteran athlete." His sense of choosing a watch is also impressive. I hope he will break new records this season!

Finally, we would like to introduce a fighter who is bringing a breath of fresh air to the boxing world. The player is Tenshin Nasukawa .

Nasukawa has an astonishing record of winning all 42 official kickboxing matches, and is known as "the greatest genius in kickboxing history" and the "child prodigy." At "THE MATCH" held in June last year, he won his last kickboxing match against "Takeru" and then switched to boxing. The model worn by Nasukawa, who will be attracting even more attention as a professional boxer in the future, is

Audemars Piguet boasts an overwhelming presence like high jewellery.
"Royal Oak Chronograph" "Ref. 26240BA.GG.1324BA.01 ".

In commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Royal Oak, this 41mm model was released in 2022 with an 18KYG (yellow gold) case and bracelet with an elegant frosted gold finish. The frosted gold finish is a traditional Florentine hammering technique created in collaboration with jewelry designer Carolina Bucci, and shines like diamond dust. The dial is a grand tapisserie dial that matches the color of the case, highlighting the contrast of the black counters. It is equipped with the in-house flyback chronograph movement "Cal. 4401", and its beautiful decoration can be seen through the sapphire case back.

Nasukawa's achievements are not limited to just inside the ring. He was also selected as "GQ MEN OF THE YEAR" last year by global media "GQ". He is wearing this model with a black suit, showing his determination to become a champion in boxing as well!
