This white ceramic and steel model belongs to Dior Grand Bal collection; its oscillating weight is a mesh of diamonds.

In 2013, Dior VIII is completing its “day”, “cocktail” and “evening” wardrobe.

Equipped with the “Dior inverse” calibre which places the functional oscillating weight of the automatic movement on top of the dial, the models in the “evening” wardrobe called Grand Bal, continue the ball metaphor so dear to Monsieur Dior. A new “Dior Inversé 8 ¼” calibre has been developed in response to the need for a 33mm model whose oscillating weight is sometimes a mesh of diamonds or sometimes a petticoat of pink or violet feathers festooned with white mother-of- pearl and diamonds. The oscillating weight of the The Dior Grand Bal "Résille" is a mesh of diamonds.

The 33mm case of the Dior Grand Bal "Résille" is made of white high-tech ceramic and stainless steel. It bears a bezel set with diamonds and decorated with a white mother-of-pearl ring, and an antireflective sapphire crystal glass. The crown is set with a white ceramic insert. The case-back is an opalescent sapphire crystal.


The automatic “Dior Inversé 8 ¼” calibre offers 38 hours of power reserve. Its functional openwork white gold oscillating weight on the dial is set with diamonds (patented).


The bracelet in white high-tech ceramic unfolds pyramid-shaped links; the unfolding clasp is made of steel.

211 diamonds shine on the watch (approx. 0.8 ct).
