A natural lapis dial gives the watch a surface that could never feel entirely standardised, while the compact steel case leaves that material room to be the main event. We like an object whose character comes from what it is made of. Here, the stone is enough to hold our attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial gives the watch depth and colour without needing much ornament. Steel provides a cooler frame, and the black leather strap keeps the composition focused. It is a small object with a very clear point of view. This example also carries visible age: a fine crack pattern in the transparent coating over the dial. That is separate from the natural character of the lapis itself. We want both to be understood, so the attraction of the stone and the condition of this particular watch are equally clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA little context\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStone dials belonged to a period of colour and material experimentation in watch design during the 1960s and 1970s. This 1970s Universal Genève makes that idea personal: a small natural-stone surface, paired with a hand-wound movement. Winding it gives you another reason to spend a moment with the object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__accordion accordion\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails id=\"Luminant-LUM-009-whats-included\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"summary__title\"\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"h4 accordion__title inline-richtext\"\u003eWhat’s included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003csvg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-caret\" viewbox=\"0 0 10 6\"\u003e\u003cpath fill=\"currentColor\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M9.354.646a.5.5 0 0 0-.708 0L5 4.293 1.354.646a.5.5 0 0 0-.708.708l4 4a.5.5 0 0 0 .708 0l4-4a.5.5 0 0 0 0-.708\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\n\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion__content rte\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe watch shown in the photographs, with its fitted strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eService warranty card from its recent service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginal box and original purchase papers are not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__accordion accordion\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails id=\"Luminant-LUM-009-on-the-wrist\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"summary__title\"\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"h4 accordion__title inline-richtext\"\u003eOn the wrist\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003csvg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-caret\" viewbox=\"0 0 10 6\"\u003e\u003cpath fill=\"currentColor\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M9.354.646a.5.5 0 0 0-.708 0L5 4.293 1.354.646a.5.5 0 0 0-.708.708l4 4a.5.5 0 0 0 .708 0l4-4a.5.5 0 0 0 0-.708\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\n\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion__content rte\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt approximately 22–22.5 mm across, the case has an intimate scale.
