Kabuto Japanese Watch Face

WabiFace Kabuto brings the black lacquer and gold of samurai armour to your Wear OS smartwatch.

⛩ THE HELMET
The dial is a kabuto — the helmet of a samurai — rendered in black urushi lacquer with gilded maedate, chased gold foliage and vermilion silk cords. Every aperture is set in a raised gold bezel, the way a case is finished on a fine mechanical watch.

⚙ LIVE SKELETON MOVEMENT
Two apertures open onto the movement running behind the plate. Four wheels turn at their own independent rates, so what you see through the openings is never the same twice.

🎨 THREE DIAL THEMES
Kogane (gold), Shirogane (silver) and Akagane (copper). The lacquer and the vermilion cords stay as they are — only the metal changes.

🗡 FOUR HAND COLOURS
Kin, Gin, Shu and Kohaku. Mix any hand colour with any dial theme; the sweeping second hand stays vermilion so the time is always easy to pick out.

🔴 TWO COMPLICATIONS
Left and right sub-dials, each ringed by a vermilion gauge track. Long-press the watch face to choose what they show — steps, heart rate, battery, weather and more. Five accent colours for the readouts.

🌙 MOON APERTURE
A night sky with seigaiha waves under a gold moon, carrying the day and date.

⚫ ALWAYS-ON DISPLAY
Pure black with the twelve hour bars and the hands only. Burn-in safe and easy on the battery.
