Sarpaneva Stardust 

The Sarpaneva Stardust was created in celebration of the 20th Anniversary of Stepan Sarpaneva's eponymous brand, and is a fitting birthday celebration to one of the most creative, and coolest, brands in the horological world.

Based on the smaller 42mm K3 case in Finnish Outokumpu steel, it tends to wear smaller than the specs suggest due to the very short lugs and scalloped case with a lug-to-lug of just 46mm, and a height of just 10mm. It utilises a screwdown crown at 4, enabling a healthy 100m of water resistance.

Within this case lies one of Sarpaneva's most interesting dials to date. Created in seven parts, which are all hand finished. The titanium base dial is hand-flamed to create an array of colours wrought from different torch temperatures, designed to echo the deep-space constellations, with each dial being unique given it's hand-flamed nature. This is topped with Sarpaneva's signature latticework which picks up and plays with the light in the most amazing way. 

Sarpanevas hands are always a highlight, and on the Stardust that is no different. The hour and minute hands are sharp as a knife, with alternating brushed and polished surfaces. As cool as these are, the best is saved for the subdial at 10, with a rotating 'rocket' hand floating above a blued surface which is partially skeletonized to reveal some of the rhodium plated movement below. 

Powering it is a modified Chronode P1003 Calibre, with automatic winding, a 60 hour power reserve, and Sarpaneva's signature moon carved into the rotor. Finishing it off is a Sarpaneva rubber strap with tang buckle, as well as an amazing Salmon strap also from Sarpaneva. 

This particular piece was purchased direct from Sarpaneva in 2023 and presents in TZ 'Good' condition. The case is in excellent condiiton overall, with some light scratches and rub marks present from regular wear. The reason for the 'Good' rather than 'Excellent; grading according to the TZ scale is the presence of a small ding on the outer edge between the top lugs, and some very minor nicks on the bezel. The case back shows some small scratches, and the outer AR coating on the crystal shows some marks. Please see images for full condition details.

The rubber strap is in fantastic condition, and the Salmon strap is almost new. Buckle shows some desk dive marks.

Currently keeping COSC time, and all functions operating as they should.

Comes with outer box, inner pouch, warranty card (expired), and Salmon strap.

Don't miss your chance to become "One of the Few" with what we believe to be one of the coolest Sarps ever made.
