This limited-edition timepiece, featuring a mesmerizing "ice crack" dial, is more than just a watch; it's a wearable work of art that captures attention and sparks conversation.
A Dial Like No Other: The "Ice Crack" Phenomenon
The most striking feature of the WD0005B is undoubtedly its unique dial. Inspired by natural ice cracks, Watchdives has elevated this concept into a multi-step artistic process. Each dial is a result of:
- Deep Relief Engraving: A single-piece deep relief engraving ensures no layering or ghosting, creating a truly authentic texture.
- Water-Based Protection: Pre-stamping water-based protection eliminates micro-damage, preserving the intricate details.
- Quadruple Sandblasting & Sunray Finishing: Four rounds of 200 psi sandblasting followed by water-brushed sunray finishing create a high-contrast, dynamic surface.
- Hand-Sprayed Gradient Lacquer: Unlike machine-applied finishes, the gradient lacquer is hand-sprayed, making each dial truly unique with its own character.
- 15 Coats of Clear Lacquer: A remarkable fifteen coats of clear lacquer provide stunning clarity, giving the dial a depth reminiscent of looking into a mountain lake.
This intricate process results in a dial that is not only visually captivating but also tells a story of dedication to craftsmanship. Available in Gradient Teal, Gradient Red, and Gradient Purple, each color option enhances the
ice crack effect, making each watch a personal statement.
