Ophion’s OPH 411 Vesper builds an architectural dial around a micro-rotor

The OPH 411 Vesper places raised rings and bridge-like hour markers over a finely textured dial. Small polished indexes give its geometric structure another layer, while a recessed small-seconds display preserves the concentric theme. The steel case, made by Voutilainen-Cattin, measures 39mm and carries separately made teardrop lugs.

Inside is Schwarz Etienne’s automatic ASE 200, with a micro-rotor, an 86-hour reserve and customised bridge architecture. Ophion introduced the Vesper in November 2023 in several dial colours; the photographs show the dark-dial execution. It represents a move into more elaborate mechanics while retaining the brand’s emphasis on detailed case and dial construction.
