The CIGA Design Z-Series Edge is an award-winning mechanical timepiece that redefines industrial horology with its striking tonneau-shaped case and fully skeletonised dial. Crafted from robust 316L stainless steel, this automatic watch showcases the intricate ballet of its mechanical movement through an open-worked dial—each gear, bridge, and balance wheel visible in meticulous detail. The bold red-tipped hands contrast beautifully against the grey-toned skeleton architecture, while the vibrant blue silicone strap with embossed CIGA branding adds a contemporary sporting edge to this avant-garde design.
At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for CIGA DESIGN watches, offering customers the assurance of genuine timepieces backed by full manufacturer warranties. This Z-Series model embodies CIGA Design's philosophy of democratising haute horlogerie aesthetics—delivering the visual drama of high-complication watchmaking at an accessible price point. The self-winding mechanical movement eliminates the need for battery changes, while the exhibition case back reveals the rotor's mesmerising motion with every wrist movement.
With its distinctive barrel-shaped case measuring 40mm across and just 11mm thick, the Z031-SISI-W5BU wears comfortably on a wide range of wrist sizes. The 22mm silicone strap features a textured surface for enhanced grip and is secured with a robust tang buckle. Water-resistant to 5 ATM (50 metres), this timepiece is suitable for everyday wear and light water exposure, though it should not be worn for swimming or diving activities.

FAQ
Q: Does this watch require batteries?
A: No, the CIGA Design Z-Series Edge is powered by an automatic mechanical movement that winds itself through the natural motion of your wrist. As long as you wear it regularly, it will maintain power without ever needing a battery replacement.
Q: Can I see the movement working?
A: Yes, this watch features a fully skeletonised dial that reveals the intricate mechanical movement from the front, and an exhibition case back that allows you to view the automatic rotor and movement from the rear. It's designed to showcase the art of watchmaking.
Q: Is this watch water-resistant?
A: The Z031-SISI-W5BU has a water resistance rating of 5 ATM (50 metres), making it suitable for everyday wear including handwashing and light rain exposure. However, it should not be worn for swimming, showering, or any water sports activities.
Q: How long will the watch run if I don't wear it?
A: When fully wound, most automatic movements in this category provide approximately 38-42 hours of power reserve. If you don't wear the watch for a few days, it will stop and will need to be restarted by gently shaking it or manually winding it if a crown-winding function is available.
Q: Can the silicone strap be replaced?
A: Yes, the strap features a standard 22mm lug width, allowing you to replace it with any compatible 22mm strap—whether silicone, leather, or NATO-style. Our team at Cassims & Co. can assist with strap replacements and recommend suitable options.
Q: Is this watch suitable for formal occasions?
A: The Z-Series Edge is a bold, contemporary statement piece that works best in casual and smart-casual settings. Its industrial skeleton aesthetic and bright blue strap make it more suited to modern, fashion-forward environments rather than traditional formal occasions.
Q: Does this watch come with a warranty?
A: Yes, this timepiece comes with a 1-year CIGA Design manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship when purchased from an authorised retailer like Cassims & Co. The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, accidental damage, or water damage due to misuse.

Care Guide
- Daily Wear: Avoid exposing your watch to strong magnetic fields (speakers, mobile phones, magnetic clasps) as this can affect the accuracy of the mechanical movement.
- Water Exposure: While water-resistant to 5 ATM, do not operate the crown when the watch is wet, and avoid hot water, saunas, or sudden temperature changes which can compromise seals.
- Cleaning: Wipe the stainless steel case with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. The silicone strap can be cleaned with mild soap and water, then dried thoroughly before wearing.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch for extended periods, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using a watch winder to keep the automatic movement running if you rotate between multiple timepieces.
- Winding: If your watch has stopped, gently shake it or wear it for a few hours to allow the automatic rotor to wind the mainspring. Avoid overwinding if manual winding is available.
- Servicing: Mechanical watches should be serviced every 3-5 years to ensure optimal performance. Have your timepiece inspected by a qualified watchmaker to clean, lubricate, and regulate the movement.
- Impact Protection: While built to last, avoid subjecting your watch to severe shocks or impacts, particularly during high-impact sports, as this can damage the delicate mechanical components.
- Crown Care: Ensure the crown is pushed fully in (or screwed down if applicable) after setting the time to maintain water resistance and protect the movement from dust and moisture.
