Details: KENTEX is a Japanese brand of watches designed and manufactured based on the concept of "high quality watches at a reasonable price. The Japan Self-Defense Forces (JSDF) series of military watches has been produced in Japan since 2001. By listening to the voices of Self-Defense Forces personnel, we have developed a series of military watches made in Japan. We do not consider the JSDF series to be just another Japanese military watch. This is because the JSDF is not just a military force. The JSDF is more than just a military force; it is an organization that protects Japan's peace and security without invading other countries and has the discipline of "self-defense". This model is designed to commemorate the activities of the F-4EJ/EJ Kai (F-4 Phantom II), which will be retired with regret between 1971 and 2021. The F-4EJ Kai Phantom II is the oldest fighter model belonging to the Air Self-Defense Force. The history of the Phantom II is quite long, with the first model (No. 301) imported in July 1971, and it was in operation for about half a century until March 2021. On the occasion of the retirement of all the aircraft, we were able to develop this watch with the cooperation of the Staff Office of the Ministry of the Air Force, in addition to interviews with members of the squadron, in the hope that the half-century history of the F-4EJ Phantom II would be handed down to future generations through the watch. We also received many requests for the Phantom model at the Air Self-Defense Force's air festivals, and this model was born to be born in 2021, when it was regrettably retired. The Phantom model was born to be born in 2021, when the Phantom was regrettably retired. The dial uses the symbolic "Phantom the Spook" mark of the F-4EJ Phantom II against the background of the proud emblem of the Air Self-Defense Force. The second hand reproduces the mark of the airplane shown in the cockpit. On the back cover, "PHANTOM FOREVER" is engraved for the operation period of "1971~2021" and for the wish to be handed down forever. Aircraft number "F-4" is designed on the inner ring of the dial at 4 o'clock and on the crown. Engraving of "PHANTOM" on the metal fittings for fixing the belt at 6 o'clock. The entire watch has the image of the F-4. The belt is made of CORDURA fabric in order to bring it closer to the coloring of the aircraft. The belt is made of CORDURA fabric, which is so resistant to water repellency and friction that it is used for military equipment. Stitching in the center of the belt strengthens and tautens the belt, making it tougher to wear out.
