Hi guys,

Did the Chronomat 01 ever come with a diamond dial without the diamond bezel? I can see the current Chronomat 44 only comes with diamonds on both the dial & bezel but I have seen a Chronomat 01 stainless steel version with MOP diamond dial online. Any info?

I don't believe so.

I believe that the diamonds in the MOP dial are aftermarket.

Pretty sure that there is a factory MOP diamond variant, but with diamond bezel as well.

That's why I think it could be aftermarket, although it could be just a dial change. A picture would be incredibly helpful.

That looks like a factory dial to me. Most of the aftermarket dials have single diamonds.

It's a simple job to swap out bezels.

You can get a Chronomat with diamond dial without a diamond bezel. Ref . AB011012/G686

It's a grey MOP dial set with diamonds.

There you go then, I guess that's why it looks like an OEM dial :-)
