The Tamarind watch has a sunburst brown dial with orange hour spots inspired by tropical faded dive watches and the pulp and seeds of the tamarind fruit. The open centre dial is signed GS/TP below twelve o’clock and Tokyo above six o’clock.
The custom-milled surgical steel case is quad-screwed with a bubble back, finished with linear brushing on the sides, radial brushing on the back, and mirror polishing on the thruppenny bezel, inspired by a British ‘thruppenny bit’ (three pence coin), which was dodecagonal from 1936 until its withdrawal in 1971. The twelve points of the bezel line up with the hour indices.
The gently twisted bombe lugs are half drilled- the lug holes on the crown side are only semi drilled, while the lugs on the left side are fully drilled. This anachronistic detail, taken from some early Rolex models, combines the convenience of fully drilled lugs with a slightly cleaner profile on the crown side of the watch.
