Why we love it

Description & history

A Christian Dior Bagheera Black Moon watch · gold-plated metal · black dial without indices · articulated link bracelet · Swiss Made · registered design · in working order · serial number 47154-2 · length 17.5 cm · grade B+.

The Bagheera Black Moon is based on a simple, radical idea: remove. No indices, no numerals, no markings — just a deep black, perfectly smooth disc, on which only the Christian Dior Paris signature appears. Two gold hands float there, with no reference points around them. You tell the time by the angle, by instinct, as on a sundial. It is an approach rarely found in watchmaking, and it explains the model's name: a full, silent black moon.

Everything else serves this contrast. The round gold-plated case frames the black without interrupting it, and the articulated link bracelet, in the same gold tone, extends the light around the wrist. Flexible, it drapes and settles like a chain bracelet rather than a watch strap. Seen from afar, the piece first reads as jewellery; it is only on closer inspection that the dial appears.

The watch is Swiss Made, and the case back bears the registered design marking — Dior having protected this design — as well as serial number 47154-2. The bracelet measures 17.5 cm and will fit a wrist of that size. The watch is in working order and ready to wear. Please note: the Water Resistant marking engraved on the back refers to splash resistance, not immersion — avoid showering and swimming.

Good overall condition, grade B+ — light signs of previous use consistent with a worn piece, clean dial and perfectly legible signature. No major defects to report; the item is documented in the photos. Sold with its box, protective cushion and RARR Vintage certificate of authenticity.
