Japanese editors reported having to visit ten stores to find a copy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe case back bears the inscriptions Water Resist 10 Bar, the movement designation 2035, as well as Plastic Case, Stainless Steel Back, and Assembled in China. The Japanese warranty and instruction manual with document number M-040A are included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConvenience Wear – when a fashion designer creates for the Konbini\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Japanese convenience store is not just a gas station supply, but an institution in itself: open around the clock, widely distributed across the country, with a range of products from government payments to concert tickets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIn 2021, FamilyMart developed a fashion line from this, bringing in Hiromichi Ochiai – the founder of Facetasm, who shows his collections at Paris Men's Fashion Week and has worked for Nike, Coca-Cola, and Levi's. Under the name Convenience Wear, a range was created that offers the design quality of a designer brand at Konbini prices. The success was so great that the brand is now treated as an independent phenomenon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIn 2026, the first watch in the line was released. Citizen was responsible for the technical side; the movement is the Caliber 2035 from Miyota, the group's manufacturing subsidiary – one of the most widely built quartz movements ever and valued in the industry for its robustness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFor collectors, it is interesting for two reasons. Firstly, it was never exported and is a purely Japan-exclusive model. Secondly, it generated coverage in English-speaking countries that is unusual for a product in this price range – so demand arose precisely where there was no supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA black dial with a full Arabic numeral ring from 1 to 12 in strong white, with a fine minute track around the outside with emphasized five-minute markers. Readability was clearly paramount – it is a watch that even a child can read immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe hands are leaf-shaped, in a light beige, and coated with luminous material. The second hand has a green accent at the tip – one of three subtle color accents with which Ochiai has incorporated FamilyMart's corporate colors into the watch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe other two are only found when putting it on: The tang of the clasp and a selection of the strap holes are in green, white, and blue. It is precisely this subtlety that makes the difference between a designer piece and a promotional item – the origin is inscribed, but not overtly displayed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe round case is made of dark synthetic resin, the crystal of acrylic resin. The strap is widely adjustable; the watch was expressly designed so that children and adults can wear it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDating\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe model was announced on March 26, 2026, and went on sale in Japanese FamilyMart stores from April 17, 2026. This particular piece was acquired on April 21, 2026, in a store in Tokyo – four days after the sales launch, and thus from the first delivery. Unfortunately, we too were only able to get one piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition and Origin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe watch was purchased new from a FamilyMart store in Tokyo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIt is unworn and without any signs of use.
