Rolex uses lapis lazuli, onyx, tiger’s eye, and many other unique stone dials. Today, let’s follow the class representative to look at the various unique material dials of Rolex~
Bloodstone dial
Bloodstone is also called blood chalcedony. Blood-like red spots will accompany the dark green chalcedony. Some bloodstone dials will have a vibrant red color, which is not considered a spot. It is like the dark green stone is stained with blood. Therefore, the bloodstone dial is also nicknamed “Christ’s Blood” by foreign collectors and watch enthusiasts. Best swiss replica watches.
Organic gemstone dial
For various reasons, such as multiple protection laws, organic gemstones and fossil dials can only be seen at major auction houses.
Coral plate
Rolex launched blue coral and red coral dials a long time ago. And because the mining of corals will destroy the marine ecology, this kind of dial can no longer be made after corals are listed as protected species.
Fossil plate
After playing with stones and organic gems, Rolex tried using fossil slices as dials in the last century. Fossil slices are the remains, relics, or relics of ancient organisms preserved in rocks. People with trypophobia probably can’t accept them.
Wooden plate
The natural texture of the wood and its brown-based color perfectly matches the gold case. Wooden dials are not limited to the week-calendar model but were also used in the early Cellini watch models. Luxury replica watches.
Meteorite plate
Rolex’s meteorite plate is taken from a famous Gibeon meteorite, the Hoba meteorite. It was discovered in the Nabimian Desert in Africa in 1838 and is the heaviest meteorite ever found in the world. It is rich in iron and a little nickel. It is processed, sliced , and chemically treated to maximize the beauty of the interlaced textures in its internal structure; each has a unique two-dimensional Deman cross pattern.
Mother-of-pearl plate
Mother-of-pearl plates are mainly made of overlapping calcium carbonate deposits. Therefore, each mother-of-pearl plate is also unique. Its most prominent feature is the pearl-like luster.
Diamond-set plate
Rolex uses only diamonds closest to colorless and at the highest level of the American Gemological Institute color chart, D to G. The starry sky dial is claw-set, the most classic and common diamond setting technique. Its most significant advantage is that it can highlight the brilliant fire of diamonds. This technique is also done by experienced inlay masters who embed diamonds individually.
