VS Moissanite Datejust

VS Moissanite Datejust

Original price was: £999.99.Current price is: £777.99.

The  Datejust focuses on replicating the traditional characteristics that define the Datejust platform: stainless-steel construction, sapphire crystal, automatic movement, fluted bezel styling, Jubilee bracelet comfort, and clean dial presentation. Its strengths lie in everyday wearability, classic aesthetics, and dependable functionality.

The Moissanite Datejust builds upon the same foundation but incorporates jewellery-grade stone setting using laboratory-grown moissanite. Composed of silicon carbide (SiC), moissanite offers exceptional hardness, high refractive properties, and more than double the light dispersion of natural diamond. This produces extraordinary brilliance, fire, and visual impact.

While the underlying watch architecture remains similar, the Moissanite Datejust shifts the emphasis from traditional luxury watchmaking toward jewellery-focused luxury presentation, creating a watch with significantly greater sparkle, wrist presence, and visual prominence.
