Watches

Zenith Prime

Worn by Junichi Ishida as Hiroyuki Mizusawa. Housekihiroba, the Shibuya dealer that lent the watch, records that Junichi Ishida wore a Zenith Prime in this TV Asahi drama; its card dates the broadcast to 11 May 2013, although the series' nine episodes ran from 17 January to 14 March 2013. The dealer's listing of the lent piece describes a 39 mm steel chronograph with a silver dial and a date, a hand-wound calibre derived from the El Primero behind a display back, sold new in Japan in 1999; it gives no reference. Ishida plays Hiroyuki Mizusawa, husband of Hitomi Kuroki's Asako and head of publicity at a film company. The dealer names no episode.
