Historical significance
Minase Divido 36 mm Salmon Stainless sits within Minase's Divido line, introduced in 2011. It carries the house codes established since 2005 — stainless steel case, salmon dial and automatic, 24 jewels — and is one of the references collectors use to date the evolution of the collection.
Interesting facts
- The movement's bridges are decorated even where they will never be seen once the watch is cased.
- Early production dials show a slightly different minute track, and collectors pay a premium for them.

Brand history
Minase has spent more than 21 years refining a single idea: a watch should outlive its owner. From the earliest workshop pieces to today's Divido, the house has balanced technical ambition with a recognisable design language, and its collections remain among the most closely followed by collectors worldwide.
Kyowa Co. / Susumu Kitamura established Minase in 2005, working from Japan at a time when precision was measured by hand. The founder's obsession with finishing and accuracy still defines every Minase calibre produced today.
