Introduction: This timepiece features the elite-level Clean Factory ceramic insert, born from years of research into the original Cerachrom composition. Creating a two-tone ceramic bezel (especially the Red & Blue “Pepsi”) is the Holy Grail of watch manufacturing. While other factories struggle with distinct color separation, Clean Factory has perfected a unique nano-alloy coloring technique to achieve a seamless, gen-like transition.
The 5-Step Sintering Process (Matching the image): Shown below is the complex sequence of creating our legendary bezel:
Molding: We start with a porous, green ceramic powder base.
Forming: The ring is molded and compacted under high pressure.
Base Firing: The most difficult part is creating the Full Red base. Red ceramic is notoriously unstable and must be fired within a strict 10-degree tolerance. Any deviation results in a muddy brown or black color.
Reaction: To create the iconic blue half, a proprietary chemical solution is applied to the “Night” section (6 PM to 6 AM) of the red ring.
Final Sintering: The bezel is sintered at over 1,600°C. During this phase, the treated section chemically reacts to turn a deep, navy blue, while the untreated section remains a vibrant red. The boundary between the two colors is sharp and flawless.
The Finishing Touch: Finally, the numerals are engraved using high-precision lasers and filled with genuine Platinum dust via PVD coating (just like the original). This ensures the numbers sparkle with a silvery sheen and never darken or fade over time. This bezel represents the absolute pinnacle of Clean Factory’s craftsmanship.
