Octagonal Sports Watch — Blue Waffle Dial, Steel
41MM STEEL · OCTAGONAL BEZEL · INTEGRATED BRACELET
The Watch That Made Steel Outrank Gold
Eight exposed screws, a bracelet grown out of the case, and a rulebook in the bin.
Before 1972 nobody paid serious money for a steel sports watch. Gold was the luxury; steel was what you wore to work. Then this octagon arrived — screws left visible on the bezel, bracelet flowing straight out of the case instead of pinned to it — and priced above the gold watches sitting next to it.
It was considered close to insane. Fifty years later every integrated-bracelet watch made anywhere is answering to it, and the shape is recognised across a room by people who own no watches at all.
The proportions are the quiet part. At 41mm across but barely 10mm thick, it slides under a cuff a chunkier sports watch fights with all day.
BLUE TAPISSERIE DIAL
A Dial That Changes As You Move
Hundreds of tiny squares, each catching light at its own angle.
The blue is not flat paint. It is a fine waffle grid stamped into the dial — hundreds of small raised squares, each with four edges that catch light independently.
Move your wrist and the whole face travels from near-navy in shadow to a bright, almost electric blue under direct light. Photographs flatten it; in the hand it is the reason people ask what you are wearing.
Over it sit applied baton markers — set on by hand, polished on top, filled with lume — and a date framed cleanly into the grid at three without breaking the pattern.
Eight Screws, Aligned By Hand
What it takes to make steel look like this.
The Octagon
The bezel is cut as a true octagon, then each of its eight faces is finished separately — brushed on top, polished on the bevel.
The Screws
Eight screws pass through the bezel into the case. They are seated and then aligned so every head sits the same way round. Misalign one and the whole face looks wrong.
The Dial
The tapisserie grid is stamped into the blue dial, then applied markers are set on by hand and filled with lume.
The Bracelet
Links are tapered toward the clasp and finished like the case — brushed tops, polished bevels — so the bracelet reads as an extension of the watch, not an accessory.
The Final Look
Screw alignment, bevel continuity and bracelet action are checked before boxing. A crooked screw sends it back.
2-Year Warranty. 30-Day Refund.
Wear it for a month. If it is not what you expected, send it back for a full refund — no conditions, no restocking fee.
Why This Shape Is Copied Everywhere
The original is a five-figure watch with a waiting list measured in years, and most owners never see one in a shop. This keeps the octagon, the screws, the tapisserie dial and the integrated bracelet, and asks $899.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the octagonal bezel such a big deal?
Why is the octagonal bezel such a big deal?
It was the first time a steel watch was designed to be looked at rather than just used, and the first time the screws holding it together were treated as decoration instead of hidden. Every integrated-bracelet watch since is working from that idea.
What is a tapisserie dial?
What is a tapisserie dial?
A fine grid of small raised squares stamped into the dial. Each square catches light on its own, so the colour shifts as you move rather than sitting flat. It is stamped relief, not a printed pattern.
How does 41mm wear?
How does 41mm wear?
Wider than a dress watch but unusually thin at around 10mm, so it wears flatter than the diameter suggests and goes under a cuff comfortably. If you wear 40–44mm you will be fine.
Does it need a battery?
Does it need a battery?
No. It is automatic — it winds from the motion of your wrist. Left off for a couple of days it stops, and a minute back on the wrist restarts it.
Can I swim with it?
Can I swim with it?
No. It is rated to 30m, which covers rain and hand-washing. Keep it out of pools and the sea.
Can the bracelet be resized?
Can the bracelet be resized?
Yes — the links are removable and any jeweller can size it in a few minutes. It closes on a folding clasp.
How long does delivery take?
How long does delivery take?
