Detail
The Grey Opaline Dial Chronograph Annual Calendar is a deliberate choice for the connoisseur who seeks distinction without ostentation. In contrast to its bolder black-dialed sibling, this model embraces a philosophy of understated sophistication. The grey opaline dial is its defining feature—a canvas of remarkable depth and subtlety. Far from being merely neutral, the opaline finish imbues the grey with a soft, pearly luster that shifts gracefully in different lights, revealing hints of silver, charcoal, and even blue. This nuanced aesthetic speaks to a modern sensibility that values refinement over flash.
Housed within a brilliant 18K white gold case, the dial’s quiet confidence is perfectly balanced by the case’s radiant polish. The technical prowess remains uncompromised: this timepiece houses the same rare and coveted fusion of two major complications—the stopwatch functionality of a chronograph and the everyday intelligence of an annual calendar. The layout is a study in clarity: applied white gold hour markers stand out crisply against the grey backdrop, while the functional apertures for day (9 o'clock), month (3 o'clock), and date (12 o'clock) are intuitively placed. At 6 o'clock, the bi-functional subdial elegantly combines the chronograph’s 30-minute counter with a 24-hour indicator.
It is presented on a classic black alligator leather strap, a choice that provides a subtle, grounding contrast to the lighter dial, enhancing its versatility for both business and formal settings. The matching 18K white gold pin buckle completes the ensemble with seamless elegance. Powering this creation is a high-grade automatic movement with a generous 55-hour power reserve, ensuring reliable performance that matches its sophisticated appearance.
This 5960/1G-010 is not just a tool; it is a statement of personal style for the individual who appreciates the finer details. It proves that true luxury often lies in the subtle interplay of light, texture, and intelligent design. For those building a curated collection, it serves as the perfect modern, intellectual counterpart to more traditional pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the grey dial version differ in character from the black dial version?
While the black dial (5960/1G-001) projects a sense of classic, bold authority, the grey dial (5960/1G-010) offers a more modern and introspective character. The grey opaline finish is less about stark contrast and more about nuanced depth and texture. It’s a choice for the individual who prefers their statement to be made through subtlety, refinement, and a keen eye for detail, rather than overt presence.
Why is a grey opaline dial considered a mark of sophisticated taste?
A grey opaline dial is inherently more challenging to execute well than a flat color. The opaline process creates a soft, multi-dimensional surface that interacts beautifully with light. On a grey base, this effect is particularly elegant, as it avoids the potential flatness of a simple grey paint. It requires a higher level of craftsmanship and results in a dial that is visually rich and endlessly interesting, appealing to collectors who appreciate the quieter virtues of fine watchmaking.
Does this watch share the same impressive dual-complication mechanics as the black dial model?
Yes, absolutely. Both the grey and black dial variants are powered by the same high-grade automatic movement that integrates the chronograph and annual calendar functions. The technical mastery and practical utility are identical. The choice between them is purely an aesthetic one, allowing you to select the dial color that best resonates with your personal style—whether you prefer the timeless drama of black or the contemporary nuance of grey.
