As beautiful as it is a rare sight. Seiko’s use of MOP is conservative at best - typically deployed as an accent through traditional techniques like Raden. By my count, there are fewer than a handful of examples of full MOP dials across its men’s collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Method.\u003c\/strong\u003e Each shell used for a mother of pearl dial is selected by hand, and the resulting pearlescence varies wildly - from blues, to pinks, to greens and even browns. In my view, these shifting tones work particularly well when used with restraint, as a subtle and contrasting accent. Where they don’t work so well is as a big, aggressive, smorgasbord of colour that dominates the entire watch face. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Comparison.\u003c\/strong\u003e At the risk of sounding biased, watches like the Rolex Daytona 116508 can quickly become messy-looking and and overwhelming. The GBBE972, by contrast, makes a compelling argument for discretion when selecting the shell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Result.\u003c\/strong\u003e Instead of punchy colours, Credor’s designers have opted for a lively looking texture - resulting in an organic \u003cem\u003eSea of Clouds\u003c\/em\u003e style finish similar to the newly released SBGH311.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Movement.\u003c\/strong\u003e At just 1.98mm thick, the 68 movement is the thinnest mechanical calibre ever produced by Seiko.
