In the 1940s, Rolex introduced the "Error Proof Dial" to enhance readability, combining Roman and Arabic numerals, a design that was later adopted by Panerai and Bubbleback models.
The term "California" dial originated in the 1980s due to vintage restoration efforts by Kirk Rich Dial Company in Los Angeles, reviving the unique mix of numerals.
The recent resurgence of the California dial has led to innovative interpretations, such as the Hong Kong Dial II, which replaces Arabic numerals with Chinese characters.
The collaboration between The Armoury and Paulin Watches showcases how modern brands are creatively reimagining vintage watch styles while staying relevant and affordable.
