Engraved with "One of 240" and I believe Japan only, priced at 990,000 Yen (about $6600 USD). The red caseback crystal reminds me of the Fujiwara Fragment F1 and the "24" at 12 evokes Le Mans, but I guess it stands for 2024.

Very similar to last year's Team Ikuzawa, but not quite as nice IMHO. A repost pic of mine for comparison.

Good find!
Not as nice the Ikuzawa, and for some reason the website render looks more grey than white (even though it says it's white)

No mention of an extra strap but it has an EA0016 bracelet number....

A solar term is any of twenty-four periods in traditional Chinese lunisolar calendars that matches a particular astronomical event or signifies some natural phenomenon.

The bracelet part number is a bit puzzling, but I haven't seen a pic of another strap yet, just the bracelet. I'm curious if there really is another strap; if so, I'm sure it will match nicely with my Ikuzawa.

A few more live shots (via @fk_tag on IG).

Yeah, although thinking about it that's usually EB, not EA. Maybe the A indicates a special box or something?
I can't help but think that this looks odd because we've gotten used to the Ikuzawa. Like it looked odd initially with one red subdial but when you think of the Japanese flag it made total sense. This just seems like.... how can we make that again but different. On the one hand two red subdials should look 'better' than one, but in this context it just doesn't.

That’s when kept caged btw. Significantly lower when out in the real world. Very similar to many LE’s, where they stay nicer for longer, but there’s less enjoyment as a result.

Reminds me of the red eyed owl.
Ha! Haven't posted here in a while but had to after I saw this.
