description for its July 2012 release:
The
SHREWD AMBITION, aimed at young businessmen in their 20s, features a deep dial

base of the dial. The bezel with blue ion plating, the strikingly blue dial
parts, and the beautiful contrast between the silver lattice dial create an
intelligent manly look.
SHREWD
AMBITION
- The blue color of the ion-plated bezel and the silver color of the
lattice dial create a beautiful contrast that brings out the lustrous blue
color.
- The dial has a three-dimensional design consisting of five layers.
The metal lattice dial is silver-plated over Asahiko polishing, adding a
solid feel to the mechanical impression with the date display at 12
o'clock, 24-hour counter at 6 o'clock, and day of the week at 9 o'clock.
- Adopts a solar charging method that lasts approximately 6 months on
a full charge. The watch can be charged efficiently even under fluorescent
light, so you don't have to worry about the battery running out, making it
an environmentally friendly watch.
