JG2148-66L 24 series 25 (Hokutosei): This sleeper train, which began operations in 1988, offers direct service between Tokyo and Hokkaido. The watch captures the essence of the train with its dial design reflecting the impressive blue color, gold line, and black of the coupling section. The case is blue, the band is black, and the in-dial needle display is inspired by the passenger car's instrument panel. The "LOBBY CAR" logo of the passenger car is elegantly placed on the plate at the bottom right of the case.
