Waltham Maxim Gold Onyx

Late 1970s.
A deep black onyx dial that absorbs every bit of light around it.
Gold baton indices, gold dauphine hands. Nothing more, nothing less.
The case is textured, bark finish all around, every surface worked.
The bracelet follows the same logic: bamboo-style links in the same bark-finished gold tone. 
From dial to clasp, everything is intentional.
Swiss hand-wound movement inside. A mechanism you wind yourself, every morning.
Somewhere between a watch and a piece of sculpture.

A Masterpiece where the black does as much work as the gold.
