Experience the Legendary Nobunaga Daytona with Kazunobu Ota at Photo Next 2025

In a prestigious event held at PHOTO NEXT 2025, Kazunobu Ota, the Sales Manager of Kasei Corporation, had the unique chance to experience wearing the legendary Nobunaga Daytona, a vintage watch that holds immense historical significance. The event, organized by Cross One, took place in June 2025 and attracted photography enthusiasts and collectors alike.

The Nobunaga Daytona, specifically model number Ref.6263 with the serial no. Ser.6412345, is a rare gem in the world of horology. This particular piece holds a record auction price of approximately 2.8 billion yen on specialized auction sites dedicated to Rolex, making it not just a watch, but a monumental artifact in the realm of vintage timepieces. Its value exceeds the exceptional craftsmanship of a mechanical watch; it carries cultural narratives and symbolism that elevate it to being a "one of a kind" product.

Kasei Corporation, led by Kazunobu Ota, has been a critical player in supporting Japan's photography culture for many years. As the official distributor of the LUCKY FILM brand, they have engaged in the import and sale of photography-related materials, playing a vital role in sustaining the foundation of photography in Japan and beyond. Ota’s extensive knowledge of both the industry and market dynamics has allowed him to contribute significantly to the development of contemporary photography practices.

The experience of wearing the Nobunaga Daytona was not merely about putting on the watch; it symbolized the convergence of two distinct tools: photography and horology, both of which revolve around the concepts of "recording" and "time." This intersection highlights the historical narratives and human endeavors that these objects, each with their own context, represent.

In addition, the Nobunaga Daytona watch has been made available as part of a unique wearable experience offered through a hometown tax donation program in Toshima Ward. This program, which blends the elements of history, culture, and community contribution, has gained significant attention, providing a new value proposition for those who wish to engage with the rich heritage represented by the watch.

We highly encourage anyone interested to take part in this extraordinary experience and feel the essence of time and culture wrapped in this incredible timepiece. For details regarding the hometown tax donation program, please visit the official site.
