This is a new series that combines the concepts of the unknown “Unidentified” design and universal “Classic” design.

With the mysterious space created by the dial and the glass, whose curved surface resembles that of a car body, and the universal roman numerals laid out at four points, this watch has an exquisite, clean-cut face.
