Key Points from the Discussion

The Hentschel H2 Sport 'P20' dial, while appearing like enamel, is actually a meticulously executed lacquer finish designed to achieve a similar aesthetic. This choice was a deliberate and challenging one for Hentschel.
For a company of Hentschel's size and the scale of the 'P20' order, producing true enamel dials would have presented significant logistical and production challenges. The lacquer finish was chosen as a highly effective and beautiful alternative.

Your photo gives justice to this beautiful enamel looking dial ! It was the objective since the beginning to have this result but it wasn’t an easy task, Hentschel made a wonderful job!

At the size of the company and of our order enamel would have been difficult to accomplish but this is a very close second and has been implemented wonderfully by Hentschel 👌🏻👍🏻
