The Green Apple is the first watch in the Gear 5 collection, a line of vintage-style diver watches built around a single design but offering endless possibilities. It features a white-silver vintage dial and  will come in various combinations of hands, bezel inserts, and patina styles, ranging from heavy to none at all. These options allow for playful and unique timepieces under one cohesive design.

If you're familiar with the name reference then yes, the name "Gear 5" is inspired by Luffy’s fifth form from the famous One Piece manga and anime, where he transforms into a white, god-like figure with the power of infinite possibilities. This concept inspired the creation of this model, where different parts come together to create diverse and imaginative variations while still sharing that signature white silver vintage dial. 

For this timepiece, I began by aging the silver-white dial, giving it a subtle patina that adds depth and character while setting the stage for the watch’s vintage aesthetic. Paired with a green bezel insert I carefully aged it to create a naturally worn look. The goal was to achieve an organic, authentic pattern—something that feels like it has developed over time rather than being artificially distressed. To complement this, I matched the lume pip to the aged hour markers, ensuring everything worked together to enhance the vintage feel. The finishing touch for the dial was the classic Mercedes handset, which I also aged to blend seamlessly with the overall aesthetic.

The bracelet is a timeless Jubilee style, deliberately scratched to give it the charm of a pre-loved, well-traveled piece. The case received the same treatment, adding to the impression of a watch that has weathered the years beautifully. Finally, the domed acrylic crystal tops it all off, enhancing the vintage vibe with its soft, light-catching curves. Every element was thoughtfully aged and refined, resulting in a timepiece that feels like it has a story to tell—one of history, character, and enduring style.
