The history of this Dior Chiffre Rouge M05In 2004, the House of Dior unveiled a radical vision of watchmaking under the impetus of its men's artistic direction with the Chiffre Rouge collection. The Dior Chiffre Rouge M05 model, reference CD084B40R001, is part of this bold post-industrial line. Historically, the name comes from the date window whose date 8 was displayed in red to honour the founder's lucky number. The approach is not merely aesthetic. It reflects a desire to establish the brand in the very exclusive circle of Haute Horlogerie mechanical watchmaking. For this limited edition of 200 pieces worldwide, the Parisian Maison has teamed up with the prestigious Swiss manufacture Zenith to develop an original kinetic concept.Case, calibre and bracelet of this Chiffre Rouge M05The asymmetrical 41.5 mm case is adorned with a steel armouring entirely overmoulded with matt black rubber. This singular geometry, enlarged on the right-hand side, naturally protects the deeply engine-turned winding crown encircled by a bright red ring. A fixed smooth black ceramic bezel overlooks a dial divided into 2 zones. The upper half absorbs the light, while the lower part comes alive to the rhythm of the exclusive Dior Inversé calibre. This self-winding mechanical movement has a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and a power reserve of 42 hours. Its 38-jewel architecture reveals a majestic technical feat with the passage of the functional oscillating weight on the face. Struck in solid white gold then tinted black, this rotor features a cotton quilted pattern paying homage to the stitches used in men's couture. The screw-down caseback incorporates a red-tinted sapphire crystal revealing the internal mechanism. The whole is water-resistant to 50 metres and is worn on a bracelet alternating polished steel links and black rubber-covered elements closed by a folding clasp.Why this Dior watchThe acquisition of this piece represents a rare opportunity on the second-hand market. Limited to just 200 pieces, it embodies the perfect fusion between the exacting standards of a great name in Parisian luxury and the uncompromising expertise of a Manufacture in Le Locle. The inverted rotor complication transforms the reading of time into a precise mechanical ballet. Offered at a particularly attractive price compared to its launch value, this obscure and textured configuration remains unobtainable within the official network. It is aimed at discerning collectors looking for a timepiece with an assertive temperament combining cutting-edge horological technicality and uncompromising architectural design.Delivered contents and conditionEssued in 2023, this example is presented in an ultra-complete exhaustive configuration. The watch comes with its original white textured box, overbox and official documents. Its state of preservation is exceptional, as the piece still has its factory protective plastics affixed to the inner folding clasp.
