Anyone know if it’s possible to change the colour on a ceramic bezel insert? I’ve bought a fantastic Oris Aquis replica in green, but bezel colour is way to light, I was wondering if it’s possible to spray it a darker green colour, anyone done similar?

I have no experience with this & have never heard of anyone successfully changing the color of ceramic. My guess is that most paints would fail to permanently adhere to the ceramic. However, and this is just an educated guess, a proper two-part epoxy paint might work. Of course, assuming the bezel contains indented nomenclature - numbers & the like - you would need to use a slow-drying epoxy & find a way to keep the paint from covering the nomenclature by entering their channels.

A better option would be to contact Oris & ask them if they offer alternative color options or have experience painting their ceramic bezels (for special clients).

Good luck.
