Now that is really a stunning watch and probably only one of two of the Daytonas I would ever buy. They don't really appeal to me but this and the charcoal dial with red hands are two that do for some reason.

Is the meteoride dial real meteorite? Or is it some sort of look-alike.

Real meteorite cut from the Gibson meteorite that crashed into earth millions of years ago.
