2020 Ming 17.06 Slate Grey Dial Automatic 38mm

Here we have a 2020 Ming 17.06 Slate Grey Dial Automatic that comes from the same stable as the highly respected GPHG 2019 Horological Revelation-winning 17.06 Copper. Its 38mm round stainless steel case is highly polished with brushed flanks leading to the characteristic outward-facing curvaceous lugs, and a lug-to-lug length of 44mm and a 10mm thickness ensure a comfortable fit on your wrist. On the right side, a signed push/pull crown with deep knurling for extra grip. A flat sapphire crystal AR coated on both sides for great viewing angles. Its slate dial is multi-layered with the printed numerals in the familiar Ming font on an outer ring of sapphire crystal, giving the illusion that the numerals are floating, coated in Super-LumiNova C1 for a distinctive green hue. In the centre, we have a disc that began as a piece of brass that is etched with this mesmerising swirling three-dimensional pattern, which is then anodised to give it this rich dark colour. The finely Ming-sculptured hands are coated in the same  Super-LumiNova C1. On the reverse, screwed in case back, engraved with the model details, inside an automatic ETA 2824-2, 25 jewels, 28,800 beats per hour. The watch comes paired with its 20mm black Alcantara leather with blue stitching, handmade by Jean Rousseau Paris, and the watch comes with its Ming presentation box and paperwork.

This watch is sold with its original Ming box and Ming paperwork. The watch comes paired with its quick-release 20mm black Alcantara leather with blue stitching, handmade by Jean Rousseau Paris. The watch is from May 2020 and is sold in worn condition, but overall in very fair condition, as you can see from the photographs. The watch comes with our 12-Months Warranty.

When people think of Ming, they often go straight to the 17.09, and it is a fantastic reference; this has left the 17.06 sleeping on in my opinion! The dial is mesmerising, and the pattern in the centre is incredible; the fit and feel on the wrist are exactly as you'd expect from Ming, perfection. I wouldn't hesitate on this one if you are in the market for a Ming; this offers a bit more than the classic 17.09 for not a huge amount more!
