In the world of watchmaking, there are few details that can transform a watch from a simple timekeeping instrument into a true cult object. The Wyler Vetta Chronographe 38 GILT WV0601 K1 is one of those timepieces that, thanks to exceptional craftsmanship, tells a story of tradition, style, and precision.

A Dial That Is a Masterpiece of Aesthetic Microengineering

The beating heart of this watch is its GILT dial, the result of meticulous craftsmanship reminiscent of the prestigious models of the 1950s. To achieve that intense, velvety black, which almost seems to absorb light, an extremely sophisticated galvanic finishing process is used.

This technique involves immersing the dial in an electrolytic bath, passing an electric current regulated with millimeter precision. The variables—current intensity, ambient temperature, and humidity—are constantly monitored and controlled to ensure a uniform and perfect hue. Layer after layer, ultra-thin metallic coatings are deposited on the surface, creating that distinctive chromatic depth and timeless brilliance.

This fusion of chemistry and craftsmanship makes each dial a unique piece, characterized by a durable finish and capable of evoking the classic elegance of vintage watches, but with a modern sophistication.

Design and Materials that Speak of Quality

The Wyler Vetta Chronographe 38 GILT features a 38 mm satin-brushed steel case that combines with polished details on the crown and pushers, emphasizing the visual and tactile contrast. The two-tone black dial, enhanced by gilded steel hands, adds a touch of warmth and sophistication.

The domed sapphire crystal, with anti-reflective treatment, guarantees not only excellent protection, but also a clear, distortion-free view of the dial, while the screw-down case back, engraved with custom details, ensures water resistance up to 10 bar.

Superior Mechanical Performance

The Sellita SW510 BHM manual movement, beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, offers a power reserve of 56 hours. This mechanical caliber is the ideal choice for chronograph enthusiasts who love to feel the beat of their watch and manage its winding with the care it deserves.
