The Heinrich Taucher Sport DLC takes the rugged, vintage-inspired dive watch formula and gives it a bold, contemporary edge with a black DLC-coated case. The matte black finish adds a stealthy, technical feel while preserving the watch's robust, purposeful design.
Like its brushed steel counterpart, this model features bold hands and vibrant turquoise dial. The DLC coating required a slightly different lighting approach to bring out subtle surface textures without unwanted reflections, emphasizing the case's matte finish and angular lines.
I maintained the use of clean, minimal backgrounds to let the watch stand out clearly, but also revisited the broken red brick setup to echo the model's tough, industrial character. The contrast between the black case and the turquoise dial creates a striking visual tension, reinforcing the watch's dual nature: sporty yet sophisticated.
Capturing the DLC Taucher was a balancing act between controlling reflections on the dial and showcasing the matte, almost tactical feel of the case — a dive watch that looks as at home underwater as it does in an urban environment.
