Urushi Japanese lacquer dial 'Hake'

This dial is created through multiple layers of Japanese lacquer that applied one by one and built up over time. The final layer is boldly brushed by hand, leaving a natural brushstroke texture on the dial. This technique reveals the beauty of the layered lacquer emerging from within its deep transparency. 

*Due to the nature of the traditional Urushi finishing process, each dial may exhibit variations in texture and pattern. Shaped by both craftsmanship and chance, no two pieces are ever the same. These unique characteristics are inherent to the material and are not considered defects, and may differ from provided images.


What is Urushi?
The dial of this timepiece features Urushi (Japanese lacquer), one of Japan’s most revered traditional crafts. Harvested from the sap of the lacquer tree, Urushi is regarded as one of the most durable and beautiful natural coatings in existence. Its name is said to originate from the Japanese words meaning “beautiful” and “to enrich,” reflecting its timeless cultural significance.

For centuries, Urushi has captivated people with its deep tones and lustrous sheen. Born from nature itself, it embodies a material that evolves over time, deepening in character and expression. Urushi can truly be described as a material that reflects the Japanese cultural philosophy of living in harmony with nature.

Each dial is meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans in a workshop located in Uji, Kyoto. Urushi is not merely a protective coating; it softly reflects light and develops greater depth and richness as time passes, growing alongside its owner.

Within this material lies a distinctly Japanese aesthetic philosophy—transforming a watch from a simple instrument that measures time into a treasured object whose material beauty itself matures and evolves over the years.


SOMBRERO 90-011 is a diver’s watch with water resistance up to 20 ATM. It is powered by the Japanese-made premium MIYOTA Cal.9039 movement with a high-beat frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour.

Its distinctive design is highlighted by an inner bezel and dual crowns positioned at the top and bottom, creating a unique aesthetic that evokes a refined vintage character.
