Elegantsis' JSK Rhodium Omega is a large 47mm Swiss automatic limited edition mechanical watch that is a stunning collaboration between Elegantsis, an up-and-coming watch microbrand, and JSK Moto Co., a well-know custom motorcycle builder based in California. The color scheme of this watch along with many design elements are based on the design of JSK's Rhodium Omega bike. Despite it's dressy look, this is every inch an active lifestyle watch, with a 100 meter / 330 feet water rating, silicon rubber straps for swimming and diving, and scratch resistant sapphire crystal.
The very first thing everyone notices is the very unique dial design, which showcases the metal brake rotors found on motorcycle wheels including the venting hole typically cut into them. Apart from being something unique to the JSK range, on the Rhodium Omega it's a lovely bold red and black design that is nothing short of breathtaking, but without being ostentatious or over the top. In short you get a beautiful strong red that's different to other reds you typically find. As if that didn't make this watch stand out enough already, we've carefully paired it with an equally bold red pair of beaver tail straps that were custom made specifically for this watch. We've not seen beaver tail straps on a watch before, and we will only be selling a single Rhodium Omega watch with these straps, adding to the rarity and desirability of this offering.
Elegantsis have also gone to town on the straps and in addition to the beaver tail and rubber straps provided, the watch comes with custom red and white two part calfskin straps that are unique to this model, crafted by Elegantsis' in-house strap maker. The back of the watch features an exhibition cover with JSK's red, black and white coy carp signature logo, which matches the overall color scheme of the watch perfectly.
Look a little deeper, such as the crown design, and you'll start to spot other biking references too. What's coolest of all though is that this watch has the exact same design DNA as the JSK Rhodium Omega bike. Having a quality Swiss movement in a watch built for an active lifestyle doesn't hurt too. This timepiece is an elegant limited edition conversation piece and robust everyday wear that comes in a unique package.
