To Be Kind

An all-analog diver's watch equipped with a depth gauge. By making the approachable feel and excellent legibility of analog the key point and trimming away unnecessary functions as much as possible, it thoroughly pursues ease of use to enhance benefits. Cal. B740 simultaneously displays the time and depth—both essential for diving—by means of hands. A depth hand is arranged coaxially with the hour and minute hands, so you can easily read the current depth by the angle of the hands with the same familiar watch sense. Specifically, since each minute track corresponds to 1 meter, you can know the depth by which “minute” the depth hand indicates, allowing you to see at a glance how many meters you can descend. This is effective even in the dark thanks to luminescent hands. There are broadly two types of register rings. One places a knurled cut around the entire circumference so you turn it by catching your finger with friction. The other places about six large blocks that you grasp to turn. This model is the former, and because it has a volcano-like shape, even the pad of your finger catches, making it very easy to turn. Regarding the back shape of the case, the protrusion beneath the sensor is covered with a gentle curved surface for a unified finish. The composition of complex three-dimensional curves also sits very comfortably on the wrist, conveying a sense of kindness.
