Black Belt Watch 1

There’s an old saying that money can buy you anything, but what we have our eyes on is actually a watch that money can’t buy, unless you know a thing or two about karate. Dubbed the Black Belt Watch, the elegant timepiece features Swiss mechanics which are recognized to be just as precise as a Japanese ninja attack.

Capable of causing some serious drooling, the new Black Belt Watch features a satin finished and PVD coated case, a steel sandblasted bezel with polished Kanji characters, a kimono inspired dial and elegant hands that resemble a Shinai bamboo sword. As for the stylish strap, its made of processed Alzavel waterproof calfskin and high-tech pierced rubber.

Meant to show respect to the 7 virtues associated with the samurai’s Bushido Code (the “way of the warrior”) — rectitude, courage, benevolence, respect, honesty, honour and loyalty, the new Black Belt Watch is hailed as the “first watch in the world that money can’t buy,” since you’ll need to be a martial art practitioner to put one of these on your wrist.

The watch will debut at the “Martial Arts Evening” on October 30 at the Bout-du-Monde stadium in Geneva.
