쉬크함의 절정, 2013년 올블랙 black-on-black 시계

(꽤 오래된 얘기지만) 한때 올 블랙 시계를 무지 갖고 싶었더랬다.

그 당시만해도 Chanel J12 말고는 달리 대안이 없어보였다.

하지만 요즘은 세라믹 시계 종류도 많아졌고,

그 외에도 어여쁜(?) 올 블랙 시계들이 많아서.

(언뜻 떠오르는 예로 들자면)

벨앤로스의 헤리티지 시리즈나 롤렉스의 서브마리너 처럼 

멀리서 얼핏봐도 눈치챌 만한 브랜드 특유의 컬러감이나 소재에서 오는 아이덴티티도 있겠지만

그래도 가끔은 무채색 혹은 무광의 튀지않는 무언가를 찾게 된다.

마냥 새카맣지는 말 것이며 은은한 자태를 뽐낼만 한 무언가.

너무 까다롭나;

마침 해외 시계전문싸이트에서 올블랙 black-on-black 시계에 관한 내용을 발견해서 가져와봤다.

개인적으론  오메가 스피드마스터, 튜더 패스트라이더, 브라이틀링 나비타이머. 가 맘에 든다.

▲ Audemars Piguet - Royal Oak Offshore Diver (black)

Introduced in January at the SIHH watch fair, Audemars Piguet’s new Royal Oak Offshore Diver joined the Royal Oak Offshore Grand Complication and Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph as part of the brand’s celebration of 20 years of its Royal Oak Offshore watch. The new Diver is the third such model to be introduced, and the first to be offered in a ceramic case. The case, which is water-resistant to 300 meters, also includes a bezel and easy-grip crowns made of deep-black, high-tech ceramic — a material that is approximately seven times harder than steel and extremely scratch-resistant. The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver retails for $21,800

▲ Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute Blacksteel

The case of the Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute Blacksteel, 43 mm in diameter and water-resistant to 30 meters, was blackened using the same process as last year’s Avenger Seawolf Blacksteel model, in which a highly-resistant carbon-based coating is added to the steel. The dial echoes the case’s black color, while white, luminescent-coated numerals and hands, and small red hands for the chronograph counters, provide contrast. The Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute Blacksteel comes on a perforated black rubber “Ocean Racer” strap. A limited edition of 1,000 pieces, it retails for $9,590.

▲ Hublot Classic Fusion Classico Ultra-Thin All Black

The case of the Hublot Classic Fusion Classico Ultra-Thin All Black has a generous case diameter of 45 mm, but a shirt-cuff-friendly case thickness of just 8.3 mm. The ceramic used for the case and bezel is both polished and satin-finished, Polished ceramic is used for the crown, which bears a Hublot emblem, and the lugs are made of black composite resin. The sapphire dial has a black-transfer Hublot logo at the top and black-coated, polished hands and indices. The strap is a also a “fusion” of materials, with black alligator leather on top stitched to black rubber on the underside, and attached to a polished, satin-finished, black PVD steel deployant buckle. The Classic Fusion Classico Ultra-Thin All Black retails for $18,300.

▲ Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch “Dark Side of the Moon”

The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch “Dark Side of the Moon” derives its name from its black zirconium oxide ceramic dial and matching black ceramic case, which is 44.25 mm in diameter and boasts both brushed and polished finishes. The dial is notable for its applied indices, made of 18k white gold, and the two blackened subdials at 3 o’clock and 6 o’clock. The bezel, also made from polished black ceramic, has the Speedmaster’s familiar tachymeter scale, here inscribed in matte chromium nitride. The words, “DARK SIDE OF THE MOON” are engraved in matte chromium nitride above the caseback crystal. Completing the watch’s black-on-black look is a strap made of black Cordura fabric with a black ceramic buckle. The price of the new black ceramic Speedmaster will be $12,000.

▲ Panerai Tuttonero Luminor 1950 3 Days GMT Automatic Ceramica

The “Tuttonero” in Panerai’s Tuttonero Luminor 1950 3 Days GMT Automatic Ceramica is the Italian word for “all black.” The watch has a case and bracelet made entirely of matte black ceramic. The bracelet’s links are constructed from the same ceramic, and using the same process, as the case, and are attached to a PVD-coated, brushed steel buckle that seamlessly blends into the all-black theme. Consistent with the watch’s all-black aesthetic, the movement, which is visible through a dark-tinted sapphire crystal in the caseback, has gone through a blackening process to give it the same sleek, matte-black look as the case. The name “Tuttonero” is engraved on the caseback. The watch, which is limited to 500 pieces, carries a U.S. retail price of $16,300.

▲ Perrelet Turbine Chrono

Perrelet unveiled the Turbine Chrono at this year’s Baselworld, which adds a chronograph to the brand’s trademark turbine watches. The watch preserves the visual impact of the turbine by adding the chronograph counter as a transparent disk in the center of the dial. This all-black model has a DLC coated case and black turbine, under-dial and numerals.

▲ Richard Mille RM 030 Black Out

Richard Mille released an all-black limited edition of the RM 030, which features the brand’s “declutchable rotor.” The RM 030 Black Out uses a black-DLC-coated titanium for its entire case. The other all-black elements include the inner bezel, the crown protector, the rubber strap with deployant buckle, and the numerals on the skeleton dial. The watch features a handful of subtle red accents, including the date aperture, the tip of the central seconds hand, and the indicators for the winding and power reserve. Limited to 30 pieces, the watch retails for $95,000.

▲ Tudor Fastrider Black Shield

Tudor’s Fastrider Black Shield, a watch inspired by Ducati motorcycles, features a monobloc case in black matte ceramic with red accents. The scratch-resistant case is produced from a single piece of high-tech injected ceramic, instead of ceramic applied as a coating to another material. The dial and bezel are accentuated by red details, including the red Tudor seal at the 12 o’clock position.

▲ Zenith Pilot Montre D’Aeronef Type 20 GMT Red Baron
