What is this dial style called?

Hi

I spotted this on Chrono24 when I was looking through listings a dealer had. I've never seen this type of dial before and would love to see what it looks like on a finished watch.

Does anyone have any clue? And how rare are these, or am I just not looking in the right places...




Many thanks for your support

That looks like a black sunbeam dial. Typically on datejust’s but they discontinued them, from my understanding, years ago.

I had a TT datejust with that exact dial and man do I miss it.

Thanks for posting … I don’t believe I’ve ever seen one in person.

IT LOOKS AMAZING IN PERSON ! As I recall though, it was almost impossible to quickly tell the actual time at a glance.

Looks nice in pictures but so hard to read in person, particularly the champagne dial. Sunbeam as others have said.
