WDC0001(WD0016P Miyota 9015/90S5)

BGW9 Lume Hands + CNC Floating End Links

Swiss Super-LumiNova BGW9 is applied in a partial lume hand design.

Day: sharp contrast for clean readability
Night: deep blue glow

On Musou Black → hands appear to float in pure darkness
On Mother-of-Pearl → lume interacts with natural rainbow reflections

Metal frame is kept for structure and clarity.

CNC Floating End Links (0.03mm precision target)

Engineered with ultra-tight tolerances up to ~0.03mm.

Not just a number — but a control system for:

• case integration
• alignment
• stability
• wrist fit
• movement balance

Floating structure improves wrist curvature and reduces side gap, especially on smaller wrists.

Precision + flexibility in one system. by @watchdives

🌲 **WDC0001 FOREST — BLACK & WHITE**

Our latest original WDC0001 Forest dials are officially released.

The guilloché pattern was designed around the visual language of a forest — overlapping trees, shadows and subtle triangular / human-like forms — creating a texture developed specifically for WDC0001 rather than copying an existing traditional dial pattern.

Two completely different personalities:

🖤 **Black Forest**
Dark mother-of-pearl reveals green, blue, purple and other natural colors as the light and viewing angle change.

🤍 **White Forest**
Brighter, cleaner and more classical, allowing the depth and geometry of the Forest guilloché to become even more visible.

Every natural MOP dial is unique.

WDC0001 specifications:
• 39mm case
• 44.2mm lug-to-lug
• Approx. 10.2mm thickness
• Miyota 9015 / 90S5
• Sapphire front & display caseback
• 5-layer colorless AR
• Swiss BGW9 lume
• 316L stainless steel
• Fully CNC-machined bracelet
• Short links for precise adjustment
• More than 6 months of bracelet development

WDC0001 represents the direction we want to take Watchdives Premier: **more originality, better finishing, more difficult manufacturing and products with their own identity.**

Which one wins for you — **Black Forest or White Forest?**

**WDC0001 PREMIER — Officially Released**

Our first true flagship watch is here.

We are launching the **MUSOU Black version first**, with the black and white guilloché mother-of-pearl versions following shortly.

**Retail price: $459**
**Early-bird offer: $30 off**

WDC0001 is the highest-standard watch we have produced so far, with a long development cycle, low production efficiency and much greater attention to finishing and QC.

Highlights:

* 39mm case / 44.2mm lug-to-lug / 10.2mm thickness
* MUSOU Black dial with up to approx. 99.4% visible-light absorption
* Miyota 9015 / 90S5 automatic movement
* Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9
* Front and rear sapphire crystals
* 5-layer colorless AR coating
* 100m water resistance
* Every bracelet link individually CNC machined
* Approx. 0.03mm tolerance targets for links, screws and key bracelet components
* Very low lateral play with smooth articulation
* Double-sided polished bracelet chamfers
* Fits approx. 5.5"–8.5" wrists

The bracelet alone took close to a year from development to production.

WDC0001 is not meant to replace our more affordable watches. Most future Watchdives models will still remain in the $120–300 range.

This is simply one of the few projects where we wanted to push our manufacturing, finishing and QC as far as we reasonably could.

We also welcome independent reviews.

**WDC0001 Premier — now available.**

WD16760 NH34 Update

The latest WD16760 NH34 version can now be upgraded with our new **5-hole clasp**, giving the bracelet a more solid and refined feel.

The NH34 version remains around **$150**, offering excellent value—especially as NH34 movements are becoming increasingly difficult for us to source.

Our website has not been updated yet. If you’d like the upgraded 5-hole clasp, simply **leave a note with your order and add $5**.

In the next **1–2 months**, we also plan to release an **OTF on-the-fly adjustable clasp compatible with the WD16760**.

We’re always working to make every detail better.

Watchdives EXD — lightweight titanium, refined details.

The EXD features a 40mm Grade 2 titanium case, an updated SL3001 automatic movement, sapphire crystal with optical clarity approaching our ClearView+ level, and 200m water resistance.

The updated SL3001 has also significantly improved the rotor helicoptering issue found on earlier versions.

For the 3D lume markers, our priority was a cleaner, whiter and more refined appearance in daylight.

These markers are not part of our LumeCore grading system. After sufficient charging, they remain visible for approximately 6 hours, with brightness gradually fading over time.

Lightweight. Refined. Built for everyday wear.

WDC0001 CASE + BRACELET FINISHING

For us, the case and bracelet should feel like one complete product.

Brushing, polishing, edge transitions, bracelet articulation, tolerances and clasp feel all affect how expensive a watch feels in the hand.

This is one of the areas we’ve invested heavily in over the past year, and we’ll keep pushing it further.

How important is bracelet and case finishing to you?

THE WDC0001 Forest MOP Guilloche DIAL UP CLOSE

The texture changes quite a lot depending on the light and viewing angle, which is one of the reasons we wanted to keep this section separate.

We’ve been spending more time on dial materials, textures and finishing because this is often the part of a watch that gives it the most character.

What do you think of it up close?

A closer look at what we’ve been working on.

We’ve spent a lot of time improving the small details — from the dial and case finishing to the bracelet and overall wearing experience.

Always good to see the watch through an independent reviewer’s eyes.

What stands out to you first?

**Is the WD6263 underrated? 👀**

We haven’t promoted this model very heavily, and somehow there still hasn’t been a full independent review of it.

✔ Sapphire crystal
✔ Curved sapphire bezel
✔ Seiko VK63 meca-quartz
✔ New solid 5-hole micro-adjust clasp

So we want to change that.

**Who should we send a WD6263 to for an independent review?**

WD1965 is also being upgraded with our new 5-hole clasp.

We’re gradually bringing this upgraded clasp to more of our affordable models — stronger, more solid, better finished, and with a more refined feel on the wrist.

Even on our lower-priced watches, we want to keep improving the details that directly affect the wearing experience.

Better clasp. Better finishing. Better overall experience.
