It utilises a screwdown crown at 4, enabling a healthy 100m of water resistance.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWithin 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eSarpanevas 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. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePowering 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe rubber strap is in fantastic condition, and the Salmon strap is almost new.
