2012/12/10 - Linde Werdelin the new SpidoLite II Black Gold

 

The third addition to the SpidoLite II series of three

 

SpidoLite II Black Gold is the third series of the new family of three released in December 2012. Limited to 75 piece, this new addition presents a striking gold-plated dial with black DLC details.

The original skeletonised titanium case construction, produced with weight reduction technology, makes this piece ideal for high altitude sports experience. The outer case and certain facets have undergone microbillé and satin finish, while the inner case, crown and screws have undergone black DLC treatment.

The dial consists of two skeletonized layers. The Côtes de Genève lower dial carries the LINDE WERDELIN logo.

The upper dial bears the gold and luminova indexes, the numerals of the seconds’ sub-dial at 9 o'clock and the date function.

The numerals of the skeletonised black calendar wheel have been amplified, enhancing date readability. The laser-cut date disk blends with the dial and the titanium and satin finish hands.

The LW 04, caliber 2251, powers the SpidoLite II Black Gold, custom-made by Concepto; independent movement manufacture based in La Chaux de Fonds. The movement is visible through the dial as well as through the sapphire crystal case-back. On the front and back of the movement it’s finished with a circular perlage and engraved with the Spido logo.

The black rotor bears a gold LINDE WERDELIN icon.

All the screws in the movement are blued steel and have been implemented because of their high anti-corrosion properties and to enhance the beauty of the movement. The result is achieved with a slow and cautious heating process.
