If you find fancy dial face makes time reading difficult, then perhaps a timepiece with a black dial face is for you. But not just any watch with a black dial face. It had to be the Chronotechna – the blackest watch ever made. To achieve the title of blackest watch ever made, Chronotechna sports a dial face with super black coating that is so black that it absorbs 99.9 percent of light.

Chronotechna Blackest Watch Ever Made

Known as the darkest man-made substance, this impossibly black substance was originally developed for satellite-borne blackbody calibration systems that reflects so little light that it is possibly the closest thing to a black hole a person will ever see. So I guess that would equates to having a black hole on your wrist? Maybe?

Though it is worthy to note that the maker did not disclose what this so-called blackest substance is. I am wondering if it could be the VantaBlack, or Black 2.0? Or maybe not since NASA could not have use those because, according to Chronotechna, space agency NASA also uses the same coating.
