Reference photography not yet on file

The original generation, on bought-in Swiss movements rather than the Kenissi caliber. Recorded so the two generations can be held apart: the movement expectation for a pre-2019 J12 is completely different, and applying the Calibre 12.1 standard to one would condemn a correct watch. Note the caseback — solid steel here, sapphire display back from 2019 — which means the movement is not inspectable on this generation and the case checks carry the weight instead.

Some specifications for this reference require verification against manufacturer documentation.
