Condition Assessment
Overall Condition: Pre-Owned - Great. This timepiece remains in honest, original condition with signs of regular wear that reflect its history on the wrist.
Dial, Hands, & Crystal: The multi-layered copper dial and signature luminous ring are flawless. The sapphire crystal is clear and free of any visible scratches or chips.
Case & Bezel: The stainless steel case shows consistent surface hairlines and light swirling from use. While currently in great condition, the case retains its original sharp factory lines and would return to a perfect, like-new state with a light professional polish.

What Makes the 17.06 Copper Special
The Ming 17.06 Copper is widely considered the reference that cemented the brand’s status within the world of independent watchmaking. It gained international acclaim after winning the Horological Revelation Prize at the 2019 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève, a rare feat for a young micro-brand. Its primary draw is the stunning textured copper dial, which interacts dynamically with ambient light to shift from deep brown to a vibrant metallic glow.
The watch features Ming’s signature design language, including the "Jean-Jacques" flared lugs and a dial layout that utilizes a sapphire ring for floating luminous markers. Despite its tool-watch capabilities like 100m water resistance, its 38mm diameter and slim 10mm profile make it an exceptionally elegant daily wearer. This model represents a specific era of Ming's growth where design purity and award-winning horology converged into one of the most collectible independent pieces of the decade.
