Forged from a meteorite that drifted through space for billions of years before reaching a watchmakerтАЩs bench, this dial carries a Widmanst├дtten crystal pattern no two examples will ever share. Worn by presidents and power brokers since the modelтАЩs debut, itтАЩs the watch for the collector who owns the usual suspects and wants something, quite literally, out of this world.
Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. Meteorite grey shifts between silver, steel, and charcoal as light rakes across its crystalline grain, each facet catching like frost on glass. Ten baguette-cut diamonds frame the hours in clean, architectural lines, trading loud sparkle for quiet precision. Completing the monochromatic palette, the 18K white gold fluted bezel flashes brightly from its mirror-polished grooves above the semi-circular three-piece links of the President bracelet.
Functions include hours, minutes, seconds, day, and date. A twist unlocks the screw-down Twinlock crown: its first position hand-winds the movement, the middle position rapid-sets the day and the date in opposite directions, and the outer position sets the time with a stop-seconds hand for to-the-second accuracy. Day spelled out in full across the top, with the date magnified beneath the Cyclops at three. From rest, a minimum of 25 turns brings it back to life, after which daily wear keeps the 70-hour power reserve topped off. Water resistance reaches 100 meters, sealed behind a screw-down case back.
Comes as a complete set, double-boxed with its Day-Date booklet, card wallet, warranty card, and Superlative Chronometer seal tag.
Few objects let you wear a fragment of the solar system on your wrist and still slip it under a cuff at a black-tie dinner. For the collector who measures rarity in light-years rather than production figures, a piece this personal rarely stays still for long. Wear it once, and the rest of the box suddenly feels terrestrial.
