Pam 91 the Luminor in titanium and anthracite dial
Jeff, this is what I wondered about sometimes: If the dial was black and showing lighter with the light effect.
Anthracite is even better, really cool stuff with the grey markers: Must look great in real under a sunny sky
What's the movement type/origin there?
Thanks, Sheriff. The anthracite dial, I am sure you know, is from volcanic shale, harvested and powdered and then formed by OP through a stamping process. This is not a similar process to the ceramic powder stamping process that they use on the Black Seals, but somehow, same principles.
The dial is totally gray. Today it looks darker than usual because I shot this with the black side of my Lenovo laptop as a black reflector (on my left hand
) and then shooting the watch one-handed with my right hand. On other days with bright sun when I can't use a black material to "deaden" the gray, the anthracite exudes a much, much lighter shade, a color change noticed previously by Chris a few days ago.Movement? Good question. This is an OPVII, which I think is either a re-worked Lemania or an elaborated ETA 2824-2. This is one of the older movements before OP decided to wear the hat of a manufacture via the launch of the P.9000 entry level in-house. Accuracy? it's ok. COSC and gives me about +/- 4 to 6 seconds a days...if ever I track it. I think I am losing 1hz lately.
Thanks for the compliments, Sheriff
