Hands-On: The Ming 20.01 Series 5 Gets A Freaky New Dial



While a blue dial makes sense, I do think that this kind of dial construction is just begging for a monochromatic treatment. I’m imagining a solid look from afar, while a closer inspection would reveal the hills, valleys, nooks, and crannies of this dial. But the blue is pleasing, in an atypical hue and a nice grainy texture from the PVD coating. A pair of fully polished hour and minute hands is infilled with plenty of Super-LumiNova X1 for visibility, though when you’re staring at so many small elements, legibility will inevitably be slightly challenging. 

The central chronograph seconds and minutes hands are also in white, though not coated in lume. Instead of minute tracks on the dial, all the timing information, including the tachymeter and minute track, is relegated to the domed sapphire crystal. The markings are etched on the underside of the crystal, then infilled with Ming’s Polar White lume, a luminescent material that finally achieves Ming’s quest to create lime that can actually emit white.
