The Live Edition

Some watches tell time. This one reports it. Half-skeleton engine up top, rolling calendar cylinders down below, and a finish that looks like it rolled out of a machine shop — not a jewelry counter.

Heavy. Mechanical. Loudly original.

Three details that do the talking

Every part of the AK9022 exists to be looked at twice — the calendar that rolls instead of clicks, the dial that opens onto its own engine, and armor plating that belongs on a tool, not a trinket.

The rolling calendarMonth, week and date turn on horizontal rotating cylinders behind the lower window — the watch's signature move. Read it at a glance, watch it roll at midnight.
Half-skeleton engineThe upper dial opens onto a mecha backdrop — the copper face floats over the works. It's not a window. It's an engine bay.
Vacuum furnace armorThe ion-plated finish is fused in a vacuum furnace — a bond, not a coat. It shrugs off daily wear the way a painted case can't.

Same engine.
Two liveries.

AKOPN AK9022 Black & Gold

Black & Gold

The warm-blooded one — gold armor over a black dial, with a red racing line down the strap. Rebellious by default.

AKOPN AK9022 Silver & Black

Silver & Black

The cold-calculated one — black armor, silver bezel and dial, white racing line. Sharper, quieter, more machine than jewelry.

The instrument

A dashboard on the wrist

The AK9022 is built around a precision quartz calendar core — the reliability of battery accuracy with a multi-axis calendar that turns on horizontal cylinders. Set it once a month and it reports for duty.

3-AxisMonth · Week · Date
  • Rolling cylinders, not a disc. The month, week and date advance on horizontal rotating cylinders behind the lower gauge window — the calendar you can watch move.
  • Battery precision. A quartz core keeps time without winding or wearing. Change the battery every couple of years and it simply keeps running.
  • Copper, and it glows. The pointer hands and markers carry a low-light luminous fill — readable in a dark car, a dim bar, a backstage corridor.
  • Honest about water. Daily splash and moisture protection, period. If you live in the water, this is not your watch — and we'd rather say so now.

Straight answers
Is it automatic or battery?

Battery — a high-grade quartz calendar core. That means precision without winding: set it, wear it, forget it. Change the battery every couple of years and it keeps running.

How does the rolling calendar work?

The lower gauge window holds horizontal rotating cylinders for the month, week and date. They advance mechanically at midnight — you can watch the date roll over. Everything is set through the center crown.

Can I swim or shower with it?

No. The AK9022 carries daily splash and moisture protection — rain, washing your hands, the occasional splash — but it is not a water watch. Keep it away from direct fluid contact. We'd rather tell you now than have you find out in the pool.

Black & Gold or Silver & Black — which one is me?

Black & Gold is the warm-blooded one: gold case, black bezel and dial, red racing line down the strap — for the guy who wants to be noticed. Silver & Black is the cold-calculated one: black case, silver bezel and dial, white racing line — sharper, quieter, more machine than jewelry. Same chassis, same engine, different temperature.

Will it fit my wrist?

The band measures 195mm end to end and tapers from 24mm to 22mm, fitting wrists up to about 242mm in circumference. It's a 47mm case — built to be seen, so expect presence.
