Corum 405146 – Yellow Gold Meteorite Dial

Extraterrestrial elegance

The Corum Meteorite is a literal piece of space history on the wrist. Long before meteorite dials became a staple in modern luxury catalogs, Corum was pioneering the use of rare, organic materials to create dials that are impossible to replicate. Each dial is sliced from a genuine iron meteorite, showcasing the unique crystalline structures formed over millions of years of cooling in space. Because no two slices of the stone are identical, every single watch in this series is a unique 1-of-1 object with engraving on the back from Corum to emphasize its story. 

A 18k gold vessel

Corum chose to frame this celestial material in a highly traditional 18k yellow gold case, creating a sharp contrast between the raw, ancient texture of the meteorite and the polished refinement of the gold. At 23mm, it has the delicate proportions of a classic dress watch, but the "Corum Meteorite" branding engraved directly into the bezel gives it a bold, unmistakable identity. 

Well preserved condition

This example is in very good condition, particularly where it matters most: the dial. The meteorite slice is perfectly intact, showing the deep grey crystalline grain without any oxidation or surface damage. The 18k yellow gold case remains sharp with clear engravings on the bezel and minimal wear. Mechanically, the quartz movement runs well. The watch comes with its original gold buckle and has been paired with a bespoke leather strap to complement the dark tones of the stone.

The ultimate conversation piece

This is for the collector who values material rarity over brand hype. It is a sophisticated, high-concept timepiece that functions as a wearable artifact. It's a rare, intentional design from a brand that built its reputation on doing what others wouldn't.
