General information
The 'Solar Eclipse" Special Edition by Vostok Europe is inspired by the eponymous astronomical event. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby obscuring the view of the Sun from the Earth, totally or partially. Between two and five solar eclipses occur every year, with at least one per eclipse season. Since the Gregorian calendar was instituted in 1582, years that have had five solar eclipses were 1693, 1758, 1805, 1823, 1870, and 1935. The next occurrence will be 2206. On average, there are about 240 solar eclipses each century.
Black Aventurine (natural quartz stone), is used for the dial to create a visual effect of the starry space. Not only it's chemical composition but also its various mineral inclusions create a natural variation in each dial - making each watch appear in its own unique beauty. The asymmetrical rose PVD plated ring is inspired by the eclipse. An engraving on the case back shows different phases of the total eclipse. The case is 20 atm water proof and the case back, pushers and crown are black PVD plated in order to outline the holistic design.
Each piece comes in a beautiful Vostok Europe gift box and includes one pre-mounted leather strap.
