Meteorite Dial Looks Stunning in Person — So Why Wouldn't I Buy It?

A genuine meteorite dial for under $600 — but it's not the Delphinus I'd actually buy. Phoibos sent over the top-spec PY066D Gray Meteorite, and while that acid-etched pattern is genuinely stunning in person, the silver-on-silver dial isn't the best contrast in the lineup. In this review I break down where the meteorite version shines, where it falls short, and which of the five stone dial variants I'd put my own money on. The Delphinus PY066 is Phoibos going after the GADA (Go Anywhere, Do Anything) formula: 39mm x 46.5mm case, just 11mm thick including the double-domed sapphire, Miyota 9015 inside, 100m of water resistance with a screw-down crown, and a properly executed beads of rice bracelet with quick release and on-the-fly micro adjust. Then there's that fluted bezel — a cheeky nod to a certain Rolex, and we talk about whether it works or not. ⌚ SPECS * Case: 316L stainless steel, 39mm x 46.5mm, 11mm thick (incl. crystal) * Weight: 146g * Movement: Miyota 9015 automatic * Dial: Natural gray meteorite (also available: orange agate, green jade, lapis lazuli, aventurine) * Crystal: Double-domed sapphire, 3 layers of AR coating * Lume: 15 layers of Super-LumiNova BGW9 * Bracelet: Beads of rice, 20mm tapering to 16mm, quick release, on-the-fly micro adjust * Water resistance: 100m, screw-down crown * Warranty: 2 years * Price: $600 (meteorite) / from $450 (other dials) — 20% off with code DL20 Big thanks to Phoibos for sending this in for review.
