OBAKU Octagonal Philosophy Nordic Design Watch - Ocean Blue Rose Gold - V253GXSLML - 38mm

In the Nordics, design never pursues ostentation, but rather an "eternal balance." OBALU infuses this spirit into every timepiece—with pure lines and minimalist proportions, it brings time back to its most essential form. The crystal is crafted from scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, both luminous and resilient, clearly showcasing every minimalist detail of the dial. Whether under the glow of daylight or the soft light of evening, it reveals unique textural layers. This restrained yet pure design is the very soul of Nordic style. OBALU believes that beauty stems from the natural order and harmony. The dial's color palette is inspired by Nordic natural landscapes—tranquil seas, cool limestone, the faint light of morning mist—integrating reverence for nature within a minimalist form.

For many years, they have resided in the East, gaining a deep understanding of Eastern culture through their daily lives. After years of immersion in Japanese Zen culture, they began to focus on how to integrate and deconstruct Eastern Zen minimalism with Nordic functional minimalism, aiming to create even purer, more refined, and perfect minimalist works. The term OBAKU originates from Japanese Zen, symbolizing the brand's design philosophy, which upholds the Zen approach of observing the workings of the universe and seeking eternal truths. Thus, all things in daily life, when observed introspectively—such as graceful curves, ripples from the wind, and the rustling of leaves—become sources of inspiration. This aligns perfectly with the Nordic designers' preference for drawing inspiration from nature and a simple way of life.
