The 228396TBR is the Day-Date at its most exceptional — full platinum throughout, from case to President bracelet, with a factory meteorite dial set with 10 baguette-cut diamonds and a diamond-paved bezel. No configuration of the Day-Date commands more presence or sits higher in the reference hierarchy.
The dial material alone makes this piece singular. Metallic meteorite comes from an asteroid that exploded millions of years ago. On the voyage between planets, fragments of this extraterrestrial material cool by a few degrees Celsius every million years, creating unique crystallization within the material that is impossible to recreate on Earth. The internal structure — known as Widmanstätten patterns — is revealed only after the material is cut into thin sections and chemically treated. Every meteorite dial is different. No two will ever look the same.
This example presents in excellent condition with minimal wear. Full factory set dated 2024.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know the watch is authentic?
Every watch that comes through Vol Timepieces undergoes a rigorous three-step authentication and quality control process:
- Trusted sourcing – We only purchase from verified suppliers with whom we’ve
completed millions of dollars in transactions. - Expert authentication – Upon arrival, our master watchmaker Eddie (26 years of experience) conducts a full inspection of both external and internal components. Each watch is tested on a timegrapher for precision (no beat error, strong amplitude, no service needed) and undergoes a pressure test to confirm water resistance.
- Final quality check – Daniel personally performs the last inspection to ensure the watch matches its description and is delivered in flawless condition.

How do I know the watch will arrive safely?
Secure, Insured, Seamless Delivery
Your timepiece is shipped via FedEx Priority Overnight, fully insured, discreetly double-boxed, and delivered with signature and identification required. From our hands to yours, every detail is handled with the utmost care and professionalism.
How do I pay?
Once we agree on a price, you will place a small deposit via Zelle to secure the timepiece and ensure it is reserved exclusively for you. You will then receive an invoice with wiring instructions for the remaining balance. As soon as the wire clears (typically within 24 hours), your watch will be shipped priority overnight, fully insured, anywhere in the USA.
For first-time clients, we only accept payment by bank wire (or Zelle), the industry standard for high-value watch transactions. Wire transfers provide a secure and verifiable method of settlement, ensuring both buyer and seller protection.
For return clients, we may also accept credit card payments upon request. Please note that all credit card transactions are subject to standard processing fees, which are the responsibility of the client. In most cases, these fees outweigh the value of the credit card rewards points earned, so we recommend wire transfer as the most efficient and cost-effective option.
