The CIGA Design X-Series Gorilla is a tour de force of contemporary watchmaking engineering, where industrial aesthetics meet mechanical artistry. At Cassims & Co., we are proud to present this extraordinary timepiece that redefines what an automatic watch can be. Housed within a bold square titanium case with ceramic reinforcement and striking orange accents, the Gorilla showcases CIGA Design's signature X-form skeleton architecture — a mesmerising display of over 150 individual components working in perfect harmony. The dial is entirely transparent, revealing the intricate CD-01 automatic movement suspended within a four-corner mounting system that appears to float within the case.
This is not a watch for the understated collector. The Gorilla's architectural case design features angular guards and a distinctive rubber strap with geometric patterning that echoes the movement's structural complexity. The skeleton dial reveals every bridge, wheel, and jewel of the 24-jewel automatic calibre, offering a hypnotic view of mechanical precision. With 40 hours of power reserve and water resistance to 30 metres, this timepiece balances visual drama with reliable daily functionality. The combination of black ceramic, brushed titanium, and vibrant orange crown guards creates a commanding presence on the wrist.

FAQ
Q: What makes the CIGA Design Gorilla's movement unique?
A: The Gorilla features CIGA Design's proprietary CD-01 automatic movement with full skeleton construction and an innovative four-corner suspension system. The movement comprises over 150 individual components and 24 jewels, all visible through the transparent dial in an X-form architectural layout that appears to float within the case.
Q: What materials are used in the case construction?
A: The case combines titanium and ceramic materials with black PVD coating for durability and visual impact. The angular crown guards feature distinctive orange anodised accents, creating a bold contrast against the black case architecture.
Q: Is this watch suitable for everyday wear and water exposure?
A: The Gorilla is water-resistant to 30 metres (3 ATM), making it suitable for everyday wear and resistant to splashes or brief immersion. However, it is not designed for swimming or water sports. The substantial case construction and rubber strap make it robust enough for daily use.
Q: How long does the power reserve last?
A: The CD-01 automatic movement provides 40 hours of power reserve when fully wound. This means if you remove the watch on Friday evening, it will still be running on Sunday morning, assuming normal daily wear and movement.
Q: Can the rubber strap be replaced or adjusted?
A: Yes, the geometric-patterned rubber strap can be sized to fit your wrist and can be replaced if needed. Our team at Cassims & Co. can assist with sizing adjustments at the time of purchase and source replacement straps when required.
Q: What is the X-Series design philosophy?
A: The X-Series represents CIGA Design's most architecturally ambitious collection, featuring the signature X-form skeleton movement layout, double-layer case construction, and four-corner suspension system. Each watch in the series pushes the boundaries of mechanical watch design while maintaining reliability and wearability.
Q: Does this watch come with original packaging and documentation?
A: Yes, the Gorilla is supplied with CIGA Design's original presentation packaging, warranty documentation, and instruction manual. As an authorised CIGA Design retailer, Cassims & Co. ensures every watch is complete with all original accessories and backed by the manufacturer's warranty.

Care Guide
- Wind the watch regularly if not worn daily, or use a watch winder to maintain the automatic movement's lubrication and accuracy
- Avoid exposing the watch to magnetic fields from electronic devices, speakers, or magnetic clasps, as this can affect timekeeping accuracy
- While water-resistant to 30 metres, avoid operating the crown when the watch is wet or submerged, and never wear during swimming or showering
- Clean the titanium case and ceramic components with a soft, lint-free cloth; for the rubber strap, use mild soap and water to remove oils and dirt
- Avoid impact or dropping the watch, as the skeleton movement's exposed components are more vulnerable than traditional enclosed calibres
- Store the watch in its original box or a watch case when not in use, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures
- Have the movement serviced every 3-5 years by qualified watchmakers to ensure optimal performance and longevity
- The skeleton dial is protected by sapphire or mineral crystal; avoid contact with abrasive surfaces to prevent scratching
- If the watch stops or shows irregular timekeeping, consult our servicing team rather than attempting to adjust the movement yourself
- Keep the watch away from chemicals, solvents, perfumes, and cosmetics that may damage the PVD coating or rubber strap
