Akarsh means attractive. True to its name this
is a very attractive watch from HMT watches and at the same time one of the
most unspoken watch from HMT. I remember picking up the first Akarsh watch from
a dealer in Bangalore. Its blingy yet elegant look really attracted me. It goes
well even as a dress watch.
I shared the pictures on our facebook page and quite a few people loved it and asked me to help them get this watch. Since then I was constantly looking for this watch to help other watch fans get one for themselves. In this quest, a few days back I was informed by one of my dealer friends that he has an Akarsh watch. I thought I will go and check it out on behalf of a friend. However, when I saw the watch it was a different variant and I loved the watch the moment I saw it. The sober grey dial has a hint of mischief with the light reflecting off the dial’s contours was quite different than the other blingy variant I have.

I love this watch and the decision to buy
this watch was immediate. As I write
about the watch, it sits proudly on my wrist knowing well that it would be one
of those watches that would get a lot of my wrist-time. I really feel that I
was lucky to get both these watches as a new old stock watches. This watch is
highly recommended to all HMT watch fans.

I have a stainless steel quartz day date (TL10 -8402) which I bought more than 30 years ago. I haven't found any pictures of this model and am curious as to why and would appreciate comments. Thanks

Hi Shailesh,
I suggest you to keep an eye on the HMT watches official website. You can purchase watches online and they would be delivered to your doorsteps. They update their stocks regularly including Janata and pilot watches.
