Housed within a distinctive 41mm tonneau-shaped stainless steel case, this automatic timepiece showcases a fully skeletonised dial that reveals the intricate choreography of its CIGA Design custom-developed automatic movement. The open-worked architecture exposes gears, bridges and escapement in stunning detail, allowing the wearer to appreciate the 21,600 vph beat rate and 40-hour power reserve in real time. Contrasting red hands sweep across the architectural skeleton dial, whilst the vibrant red silicone strap with textured pattern adds a contemporary edge to this mechanical masterpiece.

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. When worn regularly, it will maintain continuous operation without any battery replacement.
Q: What does the skeleton dial reveal?
A: The fully skeletonised dial architecture exposes the entire mechanical movement, allowing you to observe the gears, bridges, balance wheel, and escapement in operation. This exhibition design showcases the craftsmanship and engineering of the automatic movement.
Q: Is the tonneau case shape comfortable to wear?
A: Yes, the tonneau (barrel-shaped) case is designed to follow the natural contours of the wrist. At 41mm width and 12mm thickness, it offers a contemporary presence without excessive bulk, and the ergonomic case design ensures comfortable all-day wear.
Q: Can I swim or shower with this watch?
A: With 3ATM water resistance, this watch is suitable for everyday splashes, rain, and hand washing, but it is not designed for swimming, showering, or water sports. We recommend removing the watch before any water immersion activities.
Q: How long will the watch run if I don't wear it?
A: The automatic movement has a 40-hour power reserve, meaning it will continue to run for approximately 40 hours after being fully wound. If you don't wear the watch daily, you'll need to wind it manually or use a watch winder to keep it running.
