Ming 37.05 Moonphase Series 2

Ming’s meteoric rise from micro-brand to fully-fledged independent powerhouse has been swift, and in our opinion well deserved. Their aesthetic is unlike any other, and provide a range of pieces from the quite affordable through to the recent run of higher end pieces, one of those being the piece we have here.

The original 37.05 was released in 2021, and then updated in 2023 with a new dial in the Series 2 we have here. The classic 38mm case size remains, though with a thin bezel and large dial opening it wears a mm or two larger than that in reality. It measures in at 11.9mm thick, with a very slim mid-case making it appear even slimmer on the wrist. 

Within this complex steel case lies an anthracite brushed dial, with moonphase aperture above 6. More than just being a moonphase, the luminous disc that shows the phase of the moon also doubles up as a lumed disc to show off the star shaped cutouts in the dial, meaning they vary with the phases of the moon. Above this sits a sapphire upper dial for the hour indices, moon mask, inversion, and luminous HyCeram stars on its upper and lower surfaces to add further visual depth.

It’s powered by the manual-wind Sellita for MING SW288-1, with anthracite skeletonized bridges and contrast rhodium circular brushing, and is water resistant to 100m.

This example comes mounted to Ming's awesome bracelet (perfect for testing out that water resistance), and also includes the original handmade Goat leather strap by Jean Rousseau Paris.

This particular piece was delivered in January 2024, and presents in TZ 'Excellent' condition. The lugs and bezel shows hairlines and minor rub marks, as do the case sides, though nothing deep or large. The case back shows scratching. Please see images for full condition details.

Strap shows only minor creasing from being worn sparingly. Bracelet shows some desk diving marks, and includes all links.

Remains under manufacturers warranty until January 2026.

Comes with outer box, inner pouch, inner case, warranty papers, strap tool, OEM strap, Ming pouch for storage with bracelet on, and spare links to complete the bracelet. 

Long sold out, don't miss your chance to pick up a very cool piece with the bonus addition of the amazing Ming bracelet.
