Properties and special features of mother-of-pearl
The dial of this watch is made of mother-of-pearl, but what exactly is mother-of-pearl and what is it made of? Mother-of-pearl is a natural composite material made of calcium carbonate and organic substances that forms the innermost layer or the entire predominantly mineral part of the shell of certain mollusks. Due to its special surface structure, which creates a matte, iridescent sheen when exposed to light, it is used in the production of decorative items such as jewelry and ornamental buttons.
Mother-of-pearl is deposited by numerous mollusks for building their shells, especially by pteriid bivalves, including pearl oysters, as well as by trochoid snails, the turban or top shells, ear shells, and nautiluses, which belong to the cephalopods. The colors of mother-of-pearl vary depending on the species and geographical origin. In our watch of the week, it shimmers in a wonderful blue-green.

However, the special feature of this wristwatch remains the dial. The mother-of-pearl dial appears in various shades of blue and green and is arranged in a wave-like, ascending pattern.
