THE WAVE BLACK STEEL

Limited to only 99 pieces, and featuring a beautifully executed enamel dial, the Wave Black Steel watch by independent watch creator ArtyA brings métiers d’art craftsmanship to its divers watch collection.

Individually crafted by hand, the dial of each watch is manufactured in grand feu enamel and its rippled surface captures with extraordinary realism, the mesmerising undulating waves one sees upon casting a stone into water. Exhibiting astounding depth and beauty the enamel-work has a three-dimensional aspect so that the hour markers offer the illusion of being elevated above its glossy surface. Standing out against this stunning backdrop, the markers and hands are cleanly styled and with a liberal coating of Swiss BGW9 Super LumiNova their vivid blue glow ensures that the time display is clear and legible even in low light conditions, while a date aperture at the 3 o’clock position completes the dial.

Measuring 43mm across and 14mm tall, the case is manufactured in stainless steel and has a smooth satin finish. Uniquely, it is fitted with a unidirectional rotating bezel in steel whose edge has the form of a wave motif, and it features a black ceramic insert, all of which add significant character to the model.

Sealed to a water resistance of up to 300 metres, with a screw-down solid steel caseback, featuring the engraved motif of a shark's jaws, the Wave Black Steel has a guarded crown inspired by the form of a submarine hatch. Within, the exclusive Aion COSC certified automatic Swiss movement has a power reserve of 42 hours, beating at 28’800 vib/h, and is beautifully decorated with Côtes de Genève and with Rose Gold NAC.

An exclusive and highly individual piece, with only 99 examples being produced, the Wave Black Steel by Artya is presented on a rubber strap, secured with a stainless steel pin buckle inspired by the shape of a drop of water.
