BRIGHT BLACK DIAL
A watchmakingtechnique
This dial features 10 baguette-cut diamonds. Thesunray finish creates delicate light reflections onmany dials in the Oyster Perpetual collection. lt isobtained using masterful brushing techniquesthat create grooves running outwards from thecentre of the dial.
Light is diffused consistently along eachengraving, creating a characteristic subtle glowthat moves depending on the position of thewrist. Once the sunray finish has beencompleted, the dial colour is applied usingPhysical Vapour Deposition or electroplating. Alight coat of varnish gives the dial its final look.
FLUTED BEZEL
A signature
The fluted bezel is a mark of distinction.Originally, the fluting of the Oyster bezel had afunctional purpose: it served to screw the bezelonto the case helping to ensure thewaterproofness of the watch.
It was therefore identical to the fluting on thecase back, which was also screwed onto the casefor waterproofness, using specific tools.Over time, the fluting became an aestheticelement, a genuine signature feature.Today the fluted bezel is a mark of distinction, ingold on this Day-Date 40.
