: Does anybody know what the Seamaster Bond blue
: wave background is actually made of? I'm
: talking is it metal, with painted blue
: waves...... or what exactly?

The base of the dial is brass. The waves themselves are a layered paint technique. If you look at the dial under a jeweler's loupe, you will see the background is a matte-textured blue-gray. Overlaid on top of that are the wave lines in a glossy navy blue in a raised paint effect.
