Shiro Kara Milsub. A unique timepiece that has been in my care since 2023. It’s one of the very first watches I ever made and, as of now, remains the only one of its kind.

The original MilSub was issued exclusively to Royal Navy divers in the 1970s and was never made available to the public, making it one of the most rare and collectible military watches in existence.

Shiro Kara Watch Co's revival of the MilSub pays homage to its military roots with meticulous craftsmanship and thoughtful handcrafted aging. Each detail from the domed acrylic crystal, patinated sword hands to the weathered dial and bezel insert evokes the character of a bygone era. The case and bracelet remain untouched, inviting the new owner to leave their own mark on its story.

-Shiro Kara 

Similar to other Shiro Kara Vintage timepieces, the Samurai 369 exemplifies meticulous handcrafting and precision, showcasing the impeccable Shiro Kara's craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail. It faithfully captures the essence of vintage watches while ensuring modern reliability and functionality.

While same effect can be done, no two vintage watches will have the same exact patina pattern as every piece ages differently.

This is the actual photo of the watch you will receive. And ready to ship upon purchase. no need to wait 3-5 wks like the usual with other models. Once sold, a re-imagined version of this design may or may not be available again.
