Fumé (smoked) dials are so attractive to me.
I do give credit to Moser for making fumé dials popular again but in the meantime quite a few other brands have also added this attractive dial variation to their collections.
The AP Code 11:59,initially criticized for their non-inspired dials have now really come to life with the new fumé dials.
GO,since acquiring their own dial factory have made a quantum leap in the quality and design of their dials : here icy-blue.
A watch for the "italian moments" in life: Anonimo Nautilo Vintage with bronze fumé dial.
A surprising watch from Certina: cool green dial for this special edition of the DS-1 Big Date.

By far one of the best price values on the market.
And if only the technical properties of the movement would count (accuracy,robustness,power reserve and anti-magnetic properties) this one would win hands down against the others!
Anyone else likes these smoked dials?
Best,
Gerard
Yes,this one is really special.
And also a good unisex option as this watch was "stolen" already a few times from my wife!
Love Fume dials
My favorite so far are my Patek 590P and Moser Pioneer Tourbillon, though I suspect once I get my hands on a AP Code it will give them a run for their money.
Generally speaking I do love dials with character, weather it’s Fume or intricate guiloche, that said there’s something to be said for a simple dial made of high quality materials

The PP and Moser are gorgeous.
And yes,the fumé effect really adds character to the dials.
I like the GO glacial blue fume dial
Saw it in real life and the colours are very unique.
The love
The love is so big.
I wil give everything for it.
A fumé dialed Baume and Mercier.
It is funny to see and read this thread while i put almost that Clifton on my wrist.
I will thank Richemont for the great effort what they did for the brand. Thank you!
For sure, the fumé king is for me the red Audemars Piguet.
I feel sorry for Moser that Audemars Piguet is a tat better.
Maybe i should try a Moser on my wrist.
But first i want to make my dream come tru.

I really like the B&M Clifton Baumatic.
Especially the grey dialed time only and moonphase are great looking watches !
Right and spot on
Gerard, you know exactly which new watch is coming to me.
The B and M Clifton Baumatic mp with grey fumé dial.
The 5 days pw is attracting me, ideal weekend watch.
The other which i consider is the Cartier Santos WWSA0037.
But the Omega Aqua Terra World Timer on blue rubber is the watch i want after i have my Clifton Baumatic.

GS textured . . .
. . . smoke.
When Ken posted a photo of this model GS 56, I knew I had to have one. So I asked him to source one in Japan.
When Mike saw mine, he went out and found one in Indonesia.
Smoke rules!
Aah,this is probably my favorite Panerai.
Too big for my wrist but a watch with such a strong character!
This is very interesting. Should also add Seiko’s cocktail watch too.

I really love these Fume dials a lot .
Credits to Moser for making them so popular nowadays. Here a few of my fume dials
