Ronin (浪人) originates from Japan, reflecting a rich heritage. In the feudal era, samurai stood as a revered class, dedicated to their daimyo, thriving on the lands and salaries bestowed upon them. Yet, amid wars and political upheaval, some samurai lost their masters and transformed into ronin, embodying resilience and honor.

This watch draws inspiration from the elegant craftsmanship of samurai swords, crafted from Damascus steel, its very essence woven into the design. The watch radiates the spirit of traditional Japanese Bushido, a testament to strength and unwavering commitment.

Damascus Steel x Timascus Combo

One of the featured combinations showcases the inspiring use of Timascus material for the watch’s dial alongside a Damascus steel watch case, creating a truly unique effect. Timascus, also known as titanium Damascus or Moku-Ti, embodies the spirit of innovation in metallurgy and the craftsmanship of metal products. Composed of two or more titanium alloys, this remarkable material is not only corrosion-resistant and non-magnetic but also remarkably lightweight. Its distinctive pattern imparts an exceptional uniqueness to the Ronin watch, elevating it to a symbol of artistry and masterful craftsmanship.

In 2022, OVD embarked on an inspiring and transformative journey by relocating its design operations to Japan. Our chief designer, Ricky, found himself captivated by the enchanting essence of Japanese culture, an endless source of inspiration that influenced his creative vision. The design for the Ronin watch took shape during a remarkable trip to the majestic Himeji Castle in Hyogo Prefecture. There, Ricky delved deep into the castle’s rich history, exploring its intricate architectural details, the haunting echoes of its wartime artifacts, and the impressive weapons depot that speaks to its storied past. This immersive experience not only enriched Ricky’s understanding of Japan’s heritage but also sparked a profound creative transformation, resulting in the creation of an exceptional timepiece that embodies the spirit of resilience and craftsmanship.
