Description
The CIGA Design MY Series M021-SISI-W13 is a masterclass in contemporary horology, where industrial design meets mechanical artistry. This automatic timepiece celebrates transparency and technical prowess with its full skeleton dial, revealing the intricate dance of the Seagull ST2551JK movement beneath a crisp silver chapter ring. The 45mm stainless steel case—substantial yet refined—houses a symphony of gears, bridges, and jewels that operate in mesmerising harmony, offering watch enthusiasts a captivating window into the soul of automatic watchmaking.
At Cassims & Co., we are proud to present this exceptional piece from CIGA Design, a brand that has revolutionised accessible mechanical watches with their signature skeletal aesthetics and robust Chinese movements. The MY Series epitomises their design philosophy: bold architecture, uncompromising visibility, and mechanical integrity. The finely woven mesh stainless steel bracelet complements the dial's geometric precision, creating a cohesive visual statement that transitions effortlessly from boardroom to weekend casual.
Powered by the reliable Seagull ST2551JK automatic calibre with 25 jewels, this watch delivers a 40-hour power reserve and the satisfaction of perpetual motion—no battery changes required, just the natural movement of your wrist. The exhibition of the movement's components is not merely decorative; it's an education in mechanical engineering, with each gear, spring, and rotor performing its designated function in perfect synchronisation. Water resistance to 30 metres provides peace of mind for daily wear, while the 12mm case height ensures comfortable wrist presence without excessive bulk.
We invite you to explore our complete collection of CIGA DESIGN watches to discover more innovative timepieces that challenge conventional design boundaries. For those who appreciate their watches as wearable art and mechanical marvels, the MY Series represents exceptional value in the skeleton watch category.

FAQ
Q: What type of movement powers the CIGA Design MY Series?
A: This watch is powered by the Seagull ST2551JK automatic movement, a robust Chinese-manufactured calibre featuring 25 jewels and a 40-hour power reserve. The movement is fully visible through the skeleton dial, allowing you to observe the mechanical components in motion.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or water sports?
A: With a water resistance rating of 30 metres (3 ATM), this watch is splash-resistant and can withstand handwashing and light rain. However, it is not suitable for swimming, showering, or any water sports. We recommend keeping the watch away from prolonged water exposure to preserve the movement's integrity.
Q: How do I wind and set the CIGA Design MY Series automatic watch?
A: As an automatic watch, the MY Series winds itself through the natural motion of your wrist via the rotor mechanism visible through the skeleton dial. If the watch has stopped, you can manually wind it by rotating the crown clockwise approximately 20-30 times. To set the time, pull the crown out to the second position and rotate to adjust the hands.
Q: Can the mesh bracelet be adjusted or resized?
A: Yes, the stainless steel mesh bracelet can be adjusted for optimal fit. The bracelet typically features a sliding clasp mechanism that allows for fine adjustments. Our team at Cassims & Co. can assist with professional sizing when you purchase the watch or visit our Johannesburg showrooms.
Q: What maintenance does an automatic skeleton watch require?
A: Automatic watches benefit from regular servicing every 3-5 years to ensure optimal performance. This includes movement cleaning, lubrication, and gasket replacement. Between services, avoid exposing the watch to strong magnetic fields, extreme temperatures, or impacts. Store the watch in a watch box when not in use, and if you don't wear it regularly, consider using a watch winder to keep the movement running.
Q: Why does the skeleton dial appeal to watch enthusiasts?
A: Skeleton dials offer a unique window into the mechanical artistry of watchmaking, transforming the timepiece into wearable sculpture. You can observe the balance wheel oscillating, gears meshing, and the rotor spinning—all the intricate components that make mechanical timekeeping possible. For horology enthusiasts, this transparency celebrates the craftsmanship and engineering that often remains hidden in traditional watches.
Q: Is this CIGA Design watch covered by warranty when purchased from Cassims & Co.?
A: Yes, this watch comes with a 1-year CIGA Design manufacturer's warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship when purchased from an authorised retailer like Cassims & Co. The warranty is valid from your date of purchase and requires proof of purchase from an authorised dealer.

Care guide
- Wind your automatic watch regularly if not worn daily, or use a quality watch winder to maintain consistent power reserve and lubrication distribution throughout the movement.
- Avoid exposing the watch to strong magnetic fields from speakers, mobile phones, or magnetic clasps, as magnetisation can affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Keep the watch away from extreme temperatures, thermal shocks, and direct sunlight for prolonged periods, which can affect lubricants and seals.
- Although water-resistant to 30 metres, avoid submerging the watch in water, operating the crown when wet, or exposing it to steam, hot water, or chemicals.
- Clean the stainless steel case and mesh bracelet regularly with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dirt, sweat, and oils that can accumulate in the mesh links.
- For the mesh bracelet, occasionally use a soft brush with mild soapy water to clean between the links, then dry thoroughly with a lint-free cloth.
- Avoid impacts, drops, or knocks that could damage the delicate skeleton dial components or compromise the movement's precision.
- Have the watch professionally serviced every 3-5 years to maintain optimal performance, including movement cleaning, lubrication, and water resistance testing.
- Store the watch in its original box or a dedicated watch case when not wearing it, away from humidity, dust, and direct sunlight.
