Why You Should Buy a Luxury Brand Watch in Japan! Introducing a Highly Recommended Tokyo Shop Selling State-of-the-Art Watches

Speaking of high-class watches, markets around the world are overflowing with elaborate counterfeits. However, we’ve never heard of anyone mistakenly purchasing a fake luxury watch at a shop(legal and registered shop) in Japan.

In Japan, an 8% consumption tax is added to the price of all products. We believe that such taxes exist in your home country, too. Since Japan is promoting tourism, many shops are tax-exempt. Especially when purchasing a big-ticket item like a luxury watch, be sure to choose a shop where you won't have to pay an 8% tax!

Many of the world's luxury watch brands necessarily target Japanese customers. In other words, a wide variety of high-class watches is on display in Japanese stores. This is most true in a watch specialty shop. Choose your favourite watch from a wider selection of styles there!

Another distinctive feature of Japan is its well-developed second-hand market. At shops that buy back luxury brand items, there are always highly skilled appraisal staff, so absolutely no fakes are carried in these shops. Many used items are in good condition and their prices are often much cheaper than new products. You may find an unexpected treasure trove in such places!

Everyone admires Rolex, proud to be the most popular watch brand in the world. Taking a hint from a submarine hatch, Rolex developed the Oyster Case, one of their three greatest inventions. As hard as a real oyster shell, Rolex's advanced technology makes it dust-resistant and water-proof. It's now used in most of their models. Among these, we have selected the Submariner Date, a diver's watch with particularly advanced waterproof functions. Consistently preferred since the 1950's, the pioneering design of this diver's watch has spread around the world, gaining it more fans. For a sports watch, it's so luxurious that this model can be worn in a variety of situations, from business to casual. That may be the key to its popularity.

Omega is a popular brand that prides itself on creating practical watches of superior quality in both design and function. Two major Omega models are the Speedmaster and the Seamaster. The Speedmaster is most famous as the Official Timepiece for the astronauts who first landed on the surface of the Moon. The Seamaster is admired as the watch worn by James Bond, the main character in the popular "007" movies. Here, we've chosen the Seamaster 300 Master Co-Axial from the Seamaster series. While featuring a classical design, this extremely fine watch is full of cutting-edge technology, lending a mature sense of good taste to the person who wears it.

Founded in the USA in 1892, the Hamilton brand is now part of the Swatch Group of Switzerland. While reasonably priced, businessmen admire this brand, which is worn by adults who recognize genuine quality. In particular, their highly valued designs make these watches popular with those who care about dressing smartly.
Among Hamilton's product line, we'd like to introduce the Ventura Quartz. In 1957, the Ventura debuted as the world's first battery-operated watch. Featuring an asymmetrical case, this refined design hasn't changed much in over half a century. It continues to mesmerize both men and women, appearing in many movie scenes.
