How much more black can the Endeavour Perpetual Moon Concept Only Watch get? None more black. Why? Because the entire face is covered in “Vantablack®, a super-black coating that holds the world record as the darkest man-made substance.”
The watch, made for the Only Watch charity event for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, is a unique piece made in a massively limited quality, usually one per maker. This model is a stunning moon phase piece with a pair of striking bold hands and a sweep second.
“Fascinating and mysterious, the Endeavour Perpetual Moon Concept Only Watch reinterprets the moon phase in an understated and resolutely modern way, highlighting the beauty of the moon in an ode to its purity,” write the creators.
