A striking vintage Ricoh automatic timepiece featuring a distinctive dark grey / charcoal sector dial with subtle tonal depth and geometric applied hour markers. The dial is styled with the classic Ricoh branding, sharp faceted hands, a central sweep seconds hand, a practical day-date display at the 3 o’clock position, and the characteristic Waterproof / 21 Jewels markings.
The dark charcoal-grey dial gives this watch a refined yet distinctive vintage appearance, while the polished stainless-steel cushion-style case and matching multi-link bracelet create a strong classic Japanese watch aesthetic.
Collector’s Note
This vintage Ricoh automatic captures the bold design language of Japanese mechanical watchmaking, combining a distinctive cushion-style stainless-steel case with a dark charcoal-grey sector dial and dimensional geometric applied indices.
The dial’s dark grey finish changes subtly with the angle of light, giving it depth without appearing brown. The faceted hands and applied markers provide a strong contrast against the dial, while the 21 Jewels marking highlights its automatic mechanical character.
The stainless-steel screw-back case features factory engravings including the Ricoh markings, waterproof details, model reference 061248, and serial markings.
The watch is fitted with a matching stainless-steel multi-link bracelet featuring a Ricoh-signed clasp.
