SEVEN WINDOWS Bracelet Model [VM15-M01NBL-SSB]

Blue and polished steel is familiar territory. The SEVEN WINDOWS makes it unfamiliar again by putting the blue dial at the bottom of a box rather than under a flat pane of glass.

That is the case-in-case idea MINASE has built the collection on. One case holds the movement and the three-dimensional dial, and the hour markers are mounted on a ring above it, so they sit forward of the dial surface with visible space behind them. A second case wraps everything, six faceted sapphire panes plus the crown divided into two on the side, seven windows in all.

The blue dial in this reference is finely textured rather than flat, and its depth changes with how the light arrives through those panels. On the bracelet the watch weighs about 160 grams, an exterior that MINASE designs to be taken apart, repolished and rebuilt through the life of the watch rather than swapped out.

The steel case is 37.4 mm wide, 46.5 mm long and 13 mm thick including the crystal. Inside runs the self-winding KT7002 with date, a Swiss ETA 2892 and Sellita SW300 base finished and decorated by MINASE. Water resistance is 5 atm.

Perfect for: blue dial steel watches, rebuildable bracelet designs, buyers looking beyond Swiss brands.
