Golden Concept has just unveiled its newest luxury watch case for the new Apple Watch 7 and 8. The case, which was designed in collaboration with mixed martial artist Mirai Asakura, features blingy black diamonds that transform the smartwatch into a luxury wrist accessory. The watch is inspired by Golden Concept’s ‘Racing Sports Edition’ case and offers silver accents, a black rubber strap, a titanium case, and bezel screws that have drawn comparisons to Hublot. The watch arrives in a Swarovski version and a black diamond version, with the former being priced at ¥328,000 JPY (approx. $2,280 USD), and the latter at ¥2,145,000 JPY ($14,900 USD).
The Swarovski version is limited to 299 pieces, while the black diamond sits at 99 units. Each case takes approximately one week to produce, highlighting Golden Concept’s precision and attention to detail.
