Favre-Leuba's Sky Chief Chronograph watch appears in Mashin Sentai Kiramager

Jun 22, 2020
The Super Sentai series "Mashin Sentai Kiramager" is currently airing. Hakata Minami Muryo (played by Kosaka Daimaou), a Kiramager ally, wears a mechanical watch called the Sky Chief Chronograph from the Swiss watch brand Favre-Leuba. Muryo developed the Kiramei Changer, a transformation item. The mechanical watch he wears, the Sky Chief Chronograph, is a model that existed before the start of the series, but it shares some similarities with the Kiramei Changer, such as being a "large circular device worn on the wrist," featuring a "polygon surrounding the dial," and "functional sub-dials (small circles) within the dial." (The Sky Chief Chronograph will appear in Episode 11, airing June 21st.)


■A gorgeous watch, despite being a tool


When carrying out a mission, sharing time among team members is of the utmost importance. In addition to its highly legible time display, the Sky Chief Chronograph is also equipped with a stopwatch function known as a "chronograph." This function, which measures elapsed time, is used to manage the timing of attacks and the activity times of Mashin. This watch is not only a "tool" equipped with a chronograph, but also adorned with gorgeous decorations.

The countless delicate straight lines radiating from the center of the dial are a decorative technique called "sunray finish," which is likened to the rays of the sun. The 18K rose gold bezel surrounding the dial is a 14-sided shape reminiscent of a faceted precious stone. Gold is a perfect match for mechanical watches that can be passed down through generations, and its sparkle evokes a sense of the passage of time.


■ Inheriting the history of mechanical watches that have supported the development of vehicles and the people involved
The Sky Chief Chronograph is a "mechanical watch." Mechanical watches are powered by gears and springs and come in a wide variety of types, including wall clocks, table clocks, pocket watches, and wristwatches. The history of the development of mechanical clock precision (accuracy) has paralleled the development of vehicles and the people involved in them.

For example, during the Age of Discovery in the 18th century, accurate clocks were essential for the arduous sea voyages, and the British Parliament announced that it would offer prizes for excellent clocks, which led to a dramatic improvement in the accuracy of mechanical clocks. In the early days of railroading in the 19th century, the need to share schedules down to the second required even greater accuracy from mechanical clocks. Highly accurate mechanical clocks were also essential for the subsequent development of automobiles and airplanes.

A mechanical clock that inherits the history of mechanical clock evolution and supports the vehicles and people of a new era. That is the Sky Chief Chronograph.


■Sky Chief Chronograph (18K Rose Gold Bezel) Details


Based on a classic two-eye chronograph, this watch incorporates futuristic design elements such as a 14-sided bezel and square indices. It is a 21st-century dress watch that combines elegance with a powerful presence. The brand's philosophy of practicality is also reflected in the Sky Chief Chronograph. The dial, designed to fill the entire case, contrasts with the white inner ring on the periphery, providing excellent legibility. It is also water resistant to 10 bar (100 m).

The movement used is based on the Swiss-made ETA Valjoux 7753. The ETA Valjoux 7753 is a proven automatic chronograph movement that has been used in the Swiss watch industry for decades, and there are many repair technicians in Japan, including our own repair workshop in Japan, so you can enjoy it with peace of mind for many years to come.

- This watch is elegant and expressive. The well-balanced, symmetrical dial is classic yet exudes the power of a practical instrument.

■Favre-Leuba and special effects works

Following on from the Kamen Rider series, Favre-Leuba is now providing watches worn by regular characters in the Super Sentai series for the first time. Founded in Le Locle, Switzerland in 1737, Favre-Leuba was one of the first Swiss watch companies to internationalize, and has been making Swiss watches as practical instruments for over 280 years.

Favre-Leuba's current collections are divided into two types. The "Raider Collection" is based on a heroic concept, and the "Chief Collection" is based on authenticity. The watches worn by regular characters in special effects works are selected from the Raider Collection for Kamen Rider works and the Chief Collection for Super Sentai works. These watches are not "limited edition models" made specifically for the works, but "regular models" that are regularly found on the shelves of department stores and watch shops. We hope that through the watches that we see in our daily lives, you will realize that somewhere in our lives we are connected to the world of the works.
