    The damascus dials are looking like a regular stainless steel or titanium bezel after they came out from the CNC machines. The color or black/white contrast is achived during a long etching process, which need the right combination of fluids, temperature, concentration and time. Itīs also easily possible to ruin the bezel during this process.

    Here is an image of one of the bezels in natural state. You wonīt believe itīs handmade damascus steel!

    Oooh a special bezel, now with lume inside. Will you be offering any of the heat treated bezels with lume? I'd be all over that!

    At the moment I donīt have a plan for heat-treated bezels with SL as I canīt include the SL into the bezel inside my company in perfect way.

    Wow! It's hard to believe that is a damascus bezel. Even the titanium damascus tongues had a hint of multiple layers.

    I remain incredibly impressed with your willingness and enthusiasm to experiment with these different materials and finishes!

    Hi I'm new at 3T and I want to show you my new Kalmar GMT.
    The dialcolor also depends on the perspective.
    Here some additional pictures.
