Emeralds from the Panjshir Valley

The watch is adorned with 12 hand-set emeralds weighing a total of 1 carat, marking the hours on a rotating bezel. These stones come from the legendary Panjshir Valley, one of the most prized sources of emeralds in the world, second only to Colombia’s Muzo mine. Each emerald was hand-cut into a princess cut, requiring a flawless stone structure and absolute precision. The greatest challenge was assembling a set of stones with an identical, deep green hue that perfectly complements the sunray-finished dial—an extremely rare and time-consuming process when working with natural emeralds.

Antwerp diamonds in princess cut

The design of the brooch is completed by 36 princess-cut diamonds with a total weight of 3 carats, creating a radiant frame for the emerald markers. The diamonds come from Antwerp – the world’s diamond capital, where stones of the highest jewelry quality have been cut for over 100 years. Each one features a color grade of E/F, denoting near-perfect colorlessness, and a clarity grade of VS, ensuring exceptional clarity and excellent optical properties. Such a combination of color and clarity clearly places the stones in the haute joaillerie segment.

Diamond Atelier Autonomous Chapter

This limited-edition design represents a separate, fully autonomous story from Diamond Atelier – another deliberately crafted chapter where high-end jewelry meets distinctive watchmaking design. It is a closed project, created especially for the Moonfish model, without compromise and without repetition. Each piece was handcrafted and set in Poland, becoming not only a timepiece, but a unique collector's jewel.

904L steel and Mateusz Przystał's design

The case and bracelet are crafted from 904L stainless steel, prized for its exceptional corrosion resistance and deep, refined luster, reserved for the most prestigious watchmakers. Mateusz Przystał (D61 Design) oversaw the watch's form and the bezel's fluting, whose signature fluted bezel has become a hallmark of the Moonfish line. In this iteration—set with emeralds and diamonds in a channel setting—it takes on an entirely new, architectural dimension.

Sunray-finished dial and diver readability

The deep olive-emerald dial with a sunray finish interacts dynamically with light, highlighting the natural color of the stones on the bezel. Despite its distinctly jewelry-like character, the watch retains the full functionality of a professional diver with a water resistance rating of 200 meters. The dial is protected by flat sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating, while the applied hour markers and hands are filled with Swiss Super-LumiNova® X1, ensuring long-lasting legibility in the dark.

Strictly limited edition of 7 pieces

The entire collection consists of a strictly limited edition of 7 numbered pieces, a direct result of the handcrafted nature of the work and the limited availability of stones with identical quality and color parameters. In this form, Moonfish is a testament to a philosophy in which luxury is not about excess, but about perfection in every detail—a story that Diamond Atelier tells exclusively through craftsmanship, precious materials, and the time dedicated to bringing them together to perfection.
