Ever get tired of steel?
Over the past decade or so, ceramic has made its way to the fore of contemporary watchmaking. Appreciated for its light weight, scratch-proofness, and color, it’s a material uniquely suited to many different types of timepieces.
If you like the idea of a ceramic watch but want to ‘test the waters’ before investing in something like an IWC or a Panerai, this well sized automatic watch from Dior is just the ticket.
Housed in a 38mm ceramic case with a sapphire crystal and a black cabochon crown, it features a unidirectional rotating bezel with a studded ceramic insert, a luminous gloss black dial with applied ‘dart’ indices, and a matching handset.
Powered by an automatic movement visible via a sapphire display caseback and paired to a black, studded ceramic bracelet with a hidden deployant clasp, it’s the perfect timepiece with which to test the unique, blacked-out aesthetic of ceramic.
