It is a carbon film grown onto the steel inside\na vacuum chamber, bonded into the surface and harder than the metal underneath. It goes\non thin enough that the brushed top of a lug and the polished bevel down its side still\nread through it, so this looks like black steel rather than a steel watch that has been\nsprayed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst all that black sits the dial. It runs from pale yellow at the top through\norange into deep red at the bottom edge, laid in streaks rather than a flat wash, so it\nshifts as you turn your wrist. The three white counter rings and the white markers are\nthe only things on it that hold still.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe case back is solid, screwed down and numbered by hand.
