Toledano & Chan has introduced the B/1 "Dazzle" watch, inspired by the disruptive camouflage patterns used on World War I ships. The design features CNC-engraved, frosted, and brushed finishes on a grade 5 titanium case and dial, intended to obfuscate rather than conceal. The watch retains the original B/1 case design, including a destro crown and faceted crystal, with lines extending from the case to the dial.

The 'Dazzle' camouflage concept, proposed in 1914, aimed to alter a ship's perceived outline, size, distance, and direction using contrasting patterns, similar to how zebras hide from predators.
The pattern on the case and dial is achieved through CNC engraving, followed by diamond-frosting and brushing, creating alternating irregular compositions of finishes.
The case design, including the destro crown and faceted crystal, is inspired by the Breuer building in New York.
A 'Double Dazzle' variant is available, featuring 350 natural pavé-set diamonds.
The watch is available on an integrated titanium bracelet.
