DIVIDO Bracelet Model [VM14-M01NWH-SSB]

White dials are the honest ones. There is nothing to hide behind, so every index, every hand and every polished edge around them has to be right. The MINASE DIVIDO takes that test on.

DIVIDO belongs to MINASE’s case-in-case family, where a round dial sits inside a squared outer case and the inner structure and movement can be glimpsed at the top, the bottom and both sides when you look at the watch face on. The four lugs are separate components mounted above a partition that splits the case horizontally, and the entire exterior can be taken apart and rebuilt under the brand’s MORE system.

Reference VM14-M01NWH-SSB uses the solid white dial, evenly saturated with a subtle depth to it, on the MORE stainless steel bracelet. The case runs 40.6 mm wide and 40.6 mm tall, 11 mm thick with the sapphire crystal included, and the watch comes in around 134 g. The movement is the self-winding caliber KT7002 with date, a Swiss ETA 2892 / Sellita SW300 base finished in Akita. 5 atm: rain and splashes only.

Legible at a glance, and lighter to look at than the steel would suggest.

Perfect for: white dial automatic watches, high-legibility everyday watches, Japanese watchmaking gift ideas.
