The dials encompass a sunray finish, along with glossy transparent and matte white hues, recreating the sparkling, shimmering appearance of frost.
An hour track encircles the dial, but unusually it is formed of 12 sections of sapphire crystal, incorporating Swiss Super-LumiNova and presented in three-dimensional form.
This is a first for GoS and, to the brand’s best knowledge, the first time it’s ever been employed in the watch industry.
The spaces positioned in between each block of sapphire denote the hours. By using sections of sapphire, the dial masterfully plays with light, reinforcing the icy theme.
Customers can choose from one of two dial options, Midnight Blue or Ice Blue, two shades designed to capture the appearance of frost in different light conditions.
Gleaming GoS spearhead hour and minute hands float above the wintry-themed dial, clearly conveying the time. In addition, the dial is endowed with a central sweep seconds hand.
The inside of the bezel is designed to reflect more light, exciting the luminous elements of the dial and thereby heightening the glow of the sapphire hour track.
The stainless steel case is now slightly smaller, measuring 41.5mm in diameter. Likewise, the lugs have been reworked with the help of Swiss designer, Jacques Binggeli who also assisted in refinements of the dial elements.
The lugs now look more powerful and, when viewed together with the crown, bestow a more cohesive appearance.
