Author POV

Shūbun is the autumn-equinox entry in the same seasonal dial series as Rikka, and the blue texture reads completely differently under light — cooler, more graphic, less of the softness the green version has. Same case, same Hi-Beat 36000 movement running at 36,000 vibrations per hour for that smoother sweep, same 40mm steel proportions and 100m of water resistance. What changes the score for me is simply how much better blue dials tend to photograph and wear across seasons — it's a small variable, but it consistently moves the needle in my color-versatility axis.
