Luna Arch Bracelet Model [UG01-M01NBE-SSB]

Beige is a difficult dial color and a rewarding one. On the MINASE Luna Arch it warms the polished steel around it, turning a case full of hard reflections into something closer to skin tone.

Luna Arch is the elegance-led line MINASE launched in 2023, and it is built on the clamping structure rather than the case-in-case architecture of the brand's larger models. A single streamlined bezel clasps the sapphire crystal from above, in the way a jeweler's bezel setting holds a stone, and MINASE also cites the trimming of historical armor as a reference for the shape. Look at the watch from the side and the crystal's curve is visible through the gap left between bezel and case.

This bracelet reference carries the beige dial, patterned after the random glitter of light on the surface of the Minase River. The case measures 30.5 mm wide, 37.1 mm long including the lugs and 8.7 mm thick, and it runs on a Miyota calibre 2036 quartz movement made in Japan, with a battery life of about three years. The crystal is sapphire.

Water resistance is 5 atm, meaning rain and splashes rather than immersion. Beige on steel is the version that works with brown leather, gold jewelry and everything in between.

Perfect for: beige dial watch shoppers, small steel bracelet dress watches, everyday elegance for a slim wrist.
