What to know
The Havender’s lilac dial begins with a selected inner layer of Scandinavian mussel shells. Arcanaut processes and finely grinds the material before turning it into a composite block that can be milled into a dial. White LumiCast markers and luminous hand tips keep the pale purple surface visually quiet and easy to read.
The 40.52 mm steel case measures 12.82 mm thick and 49.06 mm lug to lug. Inside is a Swiss Soprod M100 automatic movement with a 42-hour reserve. Sapphire glass and 100-metre water resistance complete the specification. The labour-intensive dial process limits the Havender to 33 pieces.
