Get ready, watch enthusiasts! Naoya Hida & Co., the renowned artisanal watchmaker hailing from Japan, is back in the spotlight with an exhilarating new release. Known for their exquisite craftsmanship and elegant designs reminiscent of the 1930s and 1940s Calatrava-inspired pieces, this hidden gem continues to captivate collectors. Today, we introduce the NH Type 6A—a monumental first for the brand, marking their debut in the perpetual calendar segment.

The journey of Naoya Hida’s watch collection has been nothing short of extraordinary. It kicked off with the Type 1, featuring a charming small seconds at 9 o’clock, swiftly evolving through a series of breathtaking models, including the Type 2 with its modern aesthetics, and the Type 3 showcasing a moon phase display. The sleek Type 4 made waves with its compact 36mm case, while the rectangular Type 5 offered a unique twist. Now, with the NH Type 6A, the brand reaches new heights, unveiling its most intricate timepiece yet!

From the first glance, it's evident that the NH Type 6A remains deeply rooted in Naoya Hida's elegant DNA. This perpetual calendar piece beautifully merges the allure of vintage designs, reminiscent of Patek or Vacheron timepieces from the late 1940s, with a modern artisanal vibe. The 37mm case, crafted from robust 904L stainless steel, boasts a polished concave bezel and cleverly integrated correction pushers—elements that surprisingly enhance its appeal.

One hallmark of Naoya Hida watches is their stunning dials, and the NH Type 6A epitomizes this dedication to detail. Constructed from solid Argentium silver known for its tarnish resistance, the dial features exquisitely hand-engraved Roman numerals and sub-dial indications, meticulously filled with synthetic Urushi lacquer by engraver Keisuke Kano. Its traditional perpetual calendar layout includes central hours/minutes, plus sub-dials for date, day of the week, and month with leap year indicators, all adorned with elegant 18k yellow gold hands and striking blued steel accents.

Beneath the surface, the NH Type 6A houses a well-crafted movement, developed in collaboration with the esteemed Habring², based on the revered 7750 gear train. This hand-wound marvel operates at 4Hz, offering a power reserve of approximately 45 hours. Through its sapphire case back, collectors can admire the mesmerizing circular striped pattern that unravels the artistry within.

Completing this exquisite masterpiece is a luxurious black grained leather strap, making the NH Type 6A the perfect companion for any occasion. With only about 10 pieces expected to be produced between 2025 and 2026, this exclusive watch carries a price tag of JPY 7,500,000 (approximately EUR 45,600), ensuring that it's not just a timepiece, but a remarkable investment.
