Musha, out of Japan, has launched their third Kickstarter for a new automatic watch, the Samurai with a Damascus steel dial.
FYI, their other two prior campaigns were fully funded.

The only difference is colorways is the choice of ostrich leather strap in black, orange, or blue

Two elements of the design to mention:

They cut out the image named “tomoemon,” a traditional Japanese pattern, on the center of dial to show both the pattern of Damascus steel and structure inside the watch. Click the link for a video.

The design of the case is an image of “Hamon”(blade pattern), that is one of the beautiful elements of a Japanese sword.

Far and wide I will find 'em and I ride 'em
Bricks and mortar get my licks just for kicks

Retail, wholesale never fail
Online or offline, I find I don't redefine
Too big to fail or yard sale they all hale
Run or hide just for fun deals I find
