Casio 【Genuine】 CASIO Oceanus Manta ray OCW-S5000D-1AJF Description

Based on the brand concept of "Elegance, Technology", from the OCEANUS manta pursuing high-quality finish and thin beautiful form, Edo Kiriko craftsmen based on the thinnest OCW-S5000 in the history of OCEANUS men's models * One by one finish by hand A new model using a bezel made of sapphire material has appeared.

Normally, Edo Kiriko uses a material with low hardness, such as crystal glass, but in this model, it takes a long time to make handmade sapphire, which is second only to diamond.
Edo Kiriko's sapphire glass bezel expresses the sophisticated image of OCEANUS in one of the traditional Japanese patterns, "Senji". The pattern of a thousand stripes arranged vertically and horizontally expresses the elegance of looking at the urban city where people and roads intersect from the sky, a combination of beautiful amber color like a city sunset and blue which is the brand color of OCEANUS So, I expressed the amber coat.
The process is roughly divided into parts processing, cutting, and coloring, and the cutting process is the key to design, and requires the skill of a craftsman. Unlike ordinary glass materials, the use of harder sapphire requires tremendous effort and time, such as frequent "sharpening" of the wheel.
The coloring process is performed using advanced deposition technology. For coloring the cutting line, silver deposition is applied to make the cut surface stand out. After that, the bezel is colored in two colors, blue and amber. Furthermore, the color development was enhanced by repeatedly depositing silver, and finished in an original color. Advanced technology and craftsmanship of Edo Kiriko fuse, and the fineness of the cut surface and the colorful shine of vapor deposition make it a completely new design and finish.
In addition, in terms of functions, in addition to the time adjustment of the watch alone using the standard radio wave reception function, a time adjustment function using a smartphone link using Bluetooth® is installed. With the smartphone link function, you can easily and intuitively set the world time from about 300 cities, and automatically respond to changes in time zone and daylight saving time.
While mounting these high functions, a 9.3 mm thick slim case realizes a thin and beautiful form unique to manta rays. Tradition and advanced. This is a New OCEANUS manta ray that elegantly fuses two Japan prides.

* Edo Kiriko is one of the traditional Japanese crafts that has been handed down since the late Edo period. The biggest feature is the delicate cut that creates beautiful patterns. The vertical, horizontal and diagonal straight lines have no hesitation, and the curves are graceful. The elaborate decoration accentuates the texture of the transparent glass and changes the look according to how light enters. In OCW-S5000D, collaboration with Edo Kiriko artisan, Mr. Hideishi Midai, Toru Horiguchi who realized this traditional technique to the present was realized.
