There’s a lot to take in with this two-layer dial, with the base executed in a radially brushed metallic sunray finish, housing the tachymeter scale and minutes track on that periphery. In the center is a raised top dial, finished in a coarsely textured, lightly fumé finish, in a color reminiscent of the golden tones of a lovely glass of Champagne (please, no flutes). The running seconds hand sits in a snailed subdial at 9 o’clock, while the main point of focus is the thirty-minute chronograph counter at 3 o’clock, crafted to resemble a tin of caviar, with three-dimensional beads finished in a glossy lacquer that evokes the slimy salinity of sturgeon roe. In one subtle detail, the base of the white-tipped seconds hand actually resembles a bottle of Champagne. Easy to miss, but it hammers the theme home.
