The SPQR Ventuno pr Original Reissue is a watch listed on Rakuten Furusato Nozei as a thank-you gift from Okaya City in Nagano Prefecture. Furusato nozei (often called the "hometown tax donation" program) is a Japanese system in which you make a donation to a municipality and receive a local product as a thank-you gift; this watch is received that way rather than purchased as a regular product. It is provided by Tokei Kikakushitsu Costante, and its movement is a hand-winding automatic. It features a power reserve indicator, a round date window at 4 o’clock, and a skeleton caseback, and is described as built with a focus on Japanese-made parts. You choose the dial and band when applying, making it a candidate if you are looking for an SPQR watch or a watch offered through furusato nozei. Check the Rakuten Furusato Nozei page for the latest donation amount and availability.

SPQR is a Japanese watch brand. The Ventuno pr Original Reissue is a model carrying the SPQR Ventuno name, and the gift page describes it as built with a focus on Japanese-made parts.

Hand-winding automatic movement and power reserve indicator
The movement is a hand-winding automatic, a mechanical type that needs no battery replacement. It is described as an automatic watch that also supports manual winding. The dial includes a power reserve indicator showing the remaining running time, so you can see how much the mainspring has left at a glance, which is one of the defining features of the Ventuno pr.
4 o’clock date, hacking seconds, and skeleton caseback
The date is shown in a round window at 4 o’clock. It has a hacking-seconds function that stops the second hand when setting the time, and the caseback is a skeleton type that shows the movement at work. The hands are listed as mirror-finished with luminous material.
Choose from 2 dials and 9 bands
The dial comes in 2 colors: Black and Ivory. For the band, you can choose from 8 leather colors—Moss Gray, Light Camel, Black, Teal Green, Black × Blue Stitch, Brown, Camel, and Wine Red—or a solid stainless steel band. You select the dial and band when applying. The size is described as unisex. Images are for illustration and the actual colors may differ, so check the photos on the gift page when choosing colors.
