The Artifact

An icon,
dressed in darkness.

We take the Rolex Air-King 116900 — the timepiece born for pilots — and immerse it in a full black DLC treatment. Case, bezel, bracelet: every surface becomes dark matter. The instrument remains intact. Its character, rewritten.

Character

Made to be worn.

The Finish

The black that
reflects nothing.

A DLC coating — Diamond-Like Carbon — applied by vacuum deposition to every Oystersteel component. Harder than the steel itself, scratch-resistant, deeply matte. Not a coat of paint: a second, molecular skin.

The Oyster Bracelet

Solid links, also treated in DLC. Robust, fluid, absolute.
