Diamonds for everybody~
Diamonds have been a part of the watch making scene since the beginning, however for a long period of time held at a high premium and reserve for the most exclusive of watches/models. 💎
Today no longer the case, based off one of the rarest and most exclusive variant of the Patek 96, this HU-01 Finale features diamond (lab-grown) index numerals, three baguette and eight round brilliant diamonds, each meticulously and completely hand-set, with the classic variant paired with an elegant brush grey dial. 🩶
The brushed dial is made using a highly textured decorative technique, which allows the dial to exhibit a subtle, silk-like sheen under light. The quality of this brush finished dial is highly dependent on the precision of machinery and the skill of dial maker!
The dial maker secures the dial blank onto a specialized machine, and then uses a steel cylinder/brushhead equipped with a grinding belt (or grinding brush) to perform a unidirectional, linear movement across the surface of the dial.
(Technological details: The abrasive material creates an extremely uniform pattern of countless parallel, fine lines on the metal surface. To ensure that the patterns are absolutely straight and uniform, a skilled craftsman with 20 years of experience must manually manipulate the trajectory and pressure with unwavering precision.)
Next, fine control of precision. Although the luster is created by machines, the straight sand patterns on high-end watches often reveal extremely subtle, vibrant traces of manual craftsmanship. The width of the lines must be uniform and consistent, with just the right amount of depth. This ensures that the metal surface remains smooth while also allowing it to reflect a captivating shine under light.
Finally each dial is sent to an electroplating chamber for coloring.
Of course, still keeping the same style and principle as before, no brand-name or logo, void of any unnecessary labelling! And still true to the classic and elegant calatrava style watch where anyone can afford! 🫶
We heard the feedback, took it to heart, and this time…
We understand that you love the HU-01 2025 for its “true to its roots” classic nature. Well that hasn’t changed, still retaining all the qualities and structure of the previous HU-01 2025, however this time the Finale series is, dare we say even more classic!
Now in a more compact 34mm case, though retains the original 18mm lug width, and this time featuring a solid caseback! It’s as vintage tributing as it gets haha!!! (Does come with an additional sapphire crystal caseback 😉)
True to tradition and just like the old classics, the solid caseback features perlage finishing on the inside together with the signatures, unlike the sapphire caseback where all the signatures are visible on the front. Many may find this detail (the traditional perlage finishing) unnecessary, however it is something that I find very important especially if we are truly paying proper tribute to the good old days, and same as before, real quality is important or else it wouldn’t truly be value for money right? ❤️
We recommend this really great article about the perlage finishing and why for those who wish to learn more about it!

No changes and compromise for what makes the HU-01 tick, and still using the historic manual-wind ultra-thin Swiss Peseux/ETA 7001!
