Features of MOTO-R Mid

Reversed-position crown design for practicality

All buttons, which are usually laid out at the 3 o'clock position on most watches, are placed at the opposite 9 o'clock position. This design is practical for motorcycle riders, as the buttons do not malfunction when worn while riding and do not interfere with steering wheel operation. The watch is easy to handle even with gloves on, and provides quick access to the controls when needed, without any fuss.

Easy-to-use, tough, and well-selected exterior materials

The case is made of SUS316L high corrosion-resistant stainless steel to withstand sweat, rain, and vibration during long hours of touring. The windshield is made of scratch-resistant K1 tempered glass to achieve both high levels of visibility and durability. The watch is water resistant to 10 atmospheres, and is designed to withstand the various weather conditions that a rider may face, such as sudden rain or splashing water during a ride.

Dial layout focused on visibility

To ensure that the time can be read immediately even with the slightest eye movement while riding, a highly visible Arabic numeral index is placed alone at the 12 o'clock position. Even at high speeds, the user can grasp the vertical direction and position of the hands without hesitation, allowing the rider to concentrate on driving without fatigue, even when touring long distances. In addition, the indexes and hands are designed with high-performance luminescence so that the hands and scale will stand out clearly even in dimly lit conditions such as tunnels, nighttime riding, and early morning.

Inner rotating ring for checking direction

The outer circumference of the dial is equipped with an azimuth indicator inner rotation ring, which is based on the motif of a motorcycle brake disc. The position of the sun and the current time are used to read azimuth in analog form, allowing the rider to know the direction he is heading with only the wristwatch, even in mountainous areas where radio waves are difficult to reach or when the battery in a smartphone runs out of power.

Movement with shock detection and correction function

In general, wristwatches are prone to jump hands and time deviation due to vibration and shocks over a long period of time. The MOTO-R series focuses on this "vibration peculiar to riding. The movement is equipped with a "shock detection IC" that detects vibrations and shocks and compensates for their movements; the IC sensor controls the amount of electric current to optimize the operation of the step motor, thereby suppressing gear distortion and jumping hands during shocks and maintaining a stable time display even when riding. High anti-vibration and anti-shock performance is achieved.

Special belts that can be interchanged according to the situation

The tool-less one-touch belt replacement mechanism allows easy replacement of the belt, which can be changed according to one's mood before or after touring, as well as for daily maintenance, such as washing the belt after sweating. In addition, since there is no need to carry tools, the design allows for a series of comfortable operations from use to care. In addition, the optional elastic extension nylon belt, sold separately, is designed to be worn over a rider's jacket or heavy clothing, so that it can be worn naturally and comfortably without constricting the arms, even in cold or warm seasons or when wearing layers of clothing, without compromising visibility or operability while riding. It is designed to be wearable in cold and warm seasons and in layered clothing. The attractive new "MOTO-R Mid" model is available at Kentex stores and online.
