WDC0001 PREMIER

Watchdives' First True Flagship

WDC0001 represents the highest overall manufacturing standard Watchdives has attempted to date.

Rather than focusing on specifications alone, we placed greater emphasis on the details that define how a watch actually looks and feels in hand — dial craftsmanship, bracelet precision, case finishing, assembly, movement regulation, and final QC.

The result is WDC0001 PREMIER: our first true flagship.

Distinctive Dial Expressions Across the Series

The WDC0001 series includes the dial finishes described below. This page currently offers Musou Black, Forest Black MOP and Forest White MOP; use the product options for current availability.

MUSOU Black

An exceptionally deep black with almost no visual reflection.

The MUSOU Black surface absorbs approximately 99.4% of visible light, dramatically reducing reflections and creating an unusually deep, almost void-like background.

Against this darkness, the hands and dial details appear almost suspended above the surface.

Black Guilloché Mother-of-Pearl

Natural mother-of-pearl. Precision CNC carved. Approximately 2 hours per dial.

Natural dark mother-of-pearl is precision carved with an intricate guilloché pattern.

Each dial requires approximately two hours of CNC machining.

Mother-of-pearl is extremely thin, brittle and naturally layered. The machining process must preserve both the sharpness of the guilloché pattern and the natural iridescence of the material without cracking or delamination.

The result combines precision machining with the unique character of natural mother-of-pearl.

White Guilloché Mother-of-Pearl

Precision guilloché carving with a brighter natural character.

Natural white mother-of-pearl undergoes the same precision CNC carving process.

Its lighter surface reveals subtle changes in texture, depth and color as the viewing angle and lighting change.

Because mother-of-pearl is a natural material, each finished dial has its own individual character.

Selected Tahitian Mother-of-Pearl

Individually selected for stronger color and iridescence.

Selected colorful Tahitian mother-of-pearl is individually chosen for its visual character and natural iridescence.

Depending on the individual dial and lighting conditions, the surface may reveal shifting tones of black, grey, green, blue and purple.

No two natural mother-of-pearl dials are exactly alike.

0.03mm Precision Bracelet

Developed for Nearly a Year

The bracelet is one of the defining components of WDC0001.

Its development took close to a year, with particular attention paid to machining tolerances, articulation, edge finishing and mechanical fit.

Every bracelet link is individually CNC machined, with links, screws and key connecting components produced to approximately 0.03mm tolerance targets.

The goal is not simply to make the bracelet tighter.

The goal is:

Very low lateral play. Precise mechanical fit. Smooth articulation.

Bracelet Details

• Individually CNC-machined links

• Approx. 0.03mm tolerance targets

• Very low lateral play

• Polished chamfers on both sides of each link

• Rounded edges

• Smooth, refined underside

• Uniform fine brushing

• Screw-link construction

• Quick-release system

• Fully articulating end links

The difference is designed to be felt in the hand, not just read on a specification sheet.

Refined Case Finishing

Precision in Every Transition

WDC0001 combines fine brushing with precisely executed polished chamfers.

Particular attention is given to:

• Chamfer symmetry

• Consistent polished edges

• Uniform fine brushing

• Clean transitions between brushed and polished surfaces

• Precise case-to-bracelet integration

The goal is not unnecessary decoration, but cleaner geometry, sharper definition and more consistent execution.

Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9

The hands use Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9, producing a clean blue glow in darkness.

Rather than using a full-lume construction, the hands retain their defined metal borders.

This maintains stronger visual definition and a more refined appearance in daylight while providing clear nighttime legibility.

Miyota 9000 Series Automatic Movement

Slim. High-Beat. Proven.

WDC0001 is available with two Miyota 9000 Series movements:

Miyota 9015 — Date
Miyota 90S5 — No Date

Both are 4Hz / 28,800 VPH automatic mechanical movements, selected for their slim construction, mature architecture, proven reliability and worldwide serviceability.

The slim movement architecture also helps WDC0001 achieve an overall thickness of approximately 10.2mm, including the sapphire crystal.

Regulation & Final QC

Factory Specification Is Only the Starting Point

Movement factory specifications are only the beginning.

After casing, each WDC0001 goes through our final inspection and testing process, including:

• Multi-position timing testing

• Rate, amplitude and beat-error checks

• Regulation when required

• Re-testing after adjustment

• Water-resistance testing

• Hand alignment and clearance inspection

• Internal dust inspection

• Case and bracelet finishing inspection

• Bracelet and clasp function checks

• Final exterior QC

We want WDC0001 quality control to be something customers can see through our actual production and testing videos, rather than simply describing it as "strict QC."

Dedicated FKM Rubber Strap

Coming Soon

A dedicated FKM rubber strap is currently under development for both:

WDC0001 / WD0016

It will provide a lighter, sportier and more casual alternative to the stainless-steel bracelet while maintaining a properly integrated fit with the case.
