This specific configuration refers to a luxury timepiece, characterized by its dark, often black, base color contrasted with accents of gold or gold plating. Typically a diver’s watch, it combines robust functionality with a visually striking aesthetic. An example would be a modified or aftermarket-customized Rolex Submariner featuring a black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating and gold-plated hands, bezel markers, and crown.
The appeal of this style lies in its blend of understated elegance and opulent detailing. The dark background emphasizes the luxurious gold elements, creating a watch that can be both a practical tool and a statement piece. Historically, gold has been associated with wealth and status, while the dark color adds a modern, tactical feel, resulting in a sophisticated and versatile accessory favored by individuals seeking a distinctive look.
