The side profile of this case reminded me of one of those UFO flying discs from the fifties so I thought the Japan mecha dial would suit the build just nicely.
Build is finished with a colourful set of hands from ebay and a leather NATO strap with red and blue stitching. Beating inside a rock solid NH35 movement.
A few background notes regarding the dial: The mecha robot itself is Bandai's Voltes V, it was a blast when I saw the dial as it brought up good memories from my childhood. The OAV was released in 1977 by Toei Animation/Studio Sunrise as the second chapter of the Romance robot trilogy and still is a very enjoyable story thanks to its plot vaguely inspired by the french revoultion. Imho it is worth a try for those of you who are interested in mecha animation and did not know about it.
