Detailed Features & Upgrades
-
Mesmerizing Gradient Dial: The absolute standout feature of this custom build is the stunning dial. It transitions flawlessly from a vibrant, fiery orange at the top to a pitch black at the bottom. It is elevated by a custom orange seconds hand, contrasting light blue “SUBMARINER” text, and the distinct DiW logo, creating a highly dynamic and exclusive look.
-
Premium Forged Carbon Bezel: The uni-directional bezel insert is masterfully crafted from top-tier forged carbon fiber. Due to the complex manufacturing process, the marbled carbon texture on every single watch is completely unique. It is intricately engraved with a 60-minute diving scale featuring bright orange markers that perfectly color-match the top of the dial.
-
Stealth Black PVD/DLC Coating: Moving away from traditional polished steel, the entire 904L stainless steel case and solid Oyster bracelet are completely enveloped in a highly durable, matte black PVD/DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating. This gives the watch a highly tactical, under-the-radar aesthetic that allows the fiery orange dial accents to truly pop.
-
The Legendary VS3135 Movement: Beneath the heavily modified exterior beats VSF’s legendary VS3135 movement. Built 1:1 from the ground up, it features the exact structural architecture of the genuine Rolex 3135 caliber, offering authentic time-setting direction, a highly stable power reserve, and incredible long-term reliability.
-
Unmatched Crystal Clarity: Equipped with VSF’s industry-leading scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The highly transparent glass features the perfect “black hole” visual effect on the date cyclops, utilizing a genuine-spec anti-reflective coating that makes the date window highly legible against the gradient dial.
