The NB6035-55H evokes the image of a snowy night illuminated by city lights. The image of city lights illuminating fallen snow on the asphalt is represented by a gradient transitioning from white to black on the dial, along with gold-colored accents on the bezel and indices.

The NB6060-58H is inspired by the shadows of skyscrapers as they await the dawn of a new day. The dial features a geometric pattern combined with a gleaming silver color that conveys a sense of calm and a sophisticated impression.

In contrast, the NB6062-52P conveys the image of the city at night illuminated by the twinkling lights of countless buildings.

The dial features a geometric pattern combined with a gold colour that provides a sophisticated, luxurious look.

The NB6062-52P and the NB6060-58H express the different faces of the city in the day and at night with silver and gold colours.

These models are equipped with mechanical movements that provide superior magnetic resistance in everyday life. This allows the watch to maintain timekeeping accuracy even when placed at 1 cm from electronic devices emitting magnetic fields, such as smartphones and tablets.

Each watch achieves high daily accuracy of -10 to + 20 seconds. They also have transparent case backs that reveal the beating mechanical heart of the watch.
