Description
Introduced in January 2025, the C65 Dune Aeolian Automatic represents a shift in emphasis from the original Mk1 Dune. While the underlying field-watch format remains unchanged, the dial becomes the focal point. It features a three-dimensional Aeolian pattern, inspired by wind-shaped sand formations, which introduces depth and shadow that were absent from the flat, matte Mk1 dial. The effect is subtle at a distance but becomes increasingly apparent as the light moves across the surface.
The Aeolian dial first appeared on the Oracle Time Dune Shoreline limited edition, which sold out quickly to great acclaim. On the production models, the pattern is offered in Silica grey, Eve blue, Marram green and White Sand, each interacting slightly differently with the raised surface. The result is a watch that retains the Dune's legibility and everyday usability, but with added visual interest for those who found the Mk1 restrained.
