Davosa Argonautic Meteorite watch, Digi Mart USA News: Swiss watchmaker Davosa has brought its Argonautic Meteorite watch to Japan, where distributor Diamond Co. announced a release on November 13. The centerpiece is a dial cut from genuine Muonionalusta meteorite, discovered in northern Sweden in 1906.
The meteorite material is polished and etched to reveal its natural crystalline structure. According to the publisher report, its Widmanstätten patterns formed as the metallic structure cooled extremely slowly, and because each section has a different crystalline arrangement, no two dials look exactly alike.
Inside is the Davosa DAV 3021 automatic movement, based on the Sellita SW200-1, which operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offers a 41-hour power reserve. The stainless-steel case measures 41.5 mm across and 11.8 mm thick, slightly smaller than the earlier 43.5 mm Argonautic design.
The watch includes sapphire crystal, a unidirectional rotating bezel, SuperLumiNova illumination and an automatic helium escape valve, with water resistance rated at 300 meters. It comes on a stainless-steel TriaLink bracelet with Davosa’s WaveSlide micro-adjustable clasp.
Pricing varies by market. The report states the watch costs ¥291,500 including tax in Japan (approximately $1,825 / €1,655), is listed on Davosa’s European website for €1,490 (approximately $1,640), and is priced at $1,490 at the US distributor’s store.
