THE DIAL
Boasting a German silver dial with several different layers and a full selection of hand-engraved navy blue Arabic numerals in The Armoury's "Lettercutter" font, the NH TYPE2C-1's display shows an incredible level of depth that speaks to the level of subtle detail found within its entire design.
THE CONSTRUCTION
Boasting a stainless steel case construction inspired by mid-century horology, the NH TYPE2C-1's 37mm dimensions make it a wonderfully wearable watch for just about any wrist size.

Our Perspective
Boasting such an impressive level of detail and artisanal craftsmanship within the TYPE2C-1's understated design is no easy feat, and yet The Armoury and Naoya Hida & Co. have shown that it is indeed possible with their own font and the sophisticated use of color.
