The CIGA DESIGN Falcon Z039-GG01-1G delivers uncompromising mechanical transparency wrapped in a stealth aesthetic. This 44mm round automatic skeleton watch houses the brand's self-developed CD-02 calibre, fully exposed through front and back sapphire crystal windows. Every gear, bridge and balance wheel rotates in full view, framed by a bold black dial architecture and contrasting gold accents that trace the movement's inner workings.
Crafted from 316L stainless steel with a matte grey PVD-coated case, the Falcon wears its industrial pedigree openly. The unidirectional rotating bezel carries a 60-minute dive-style scale, while sculpted lug guards and an integrated bracelet contribute to the watch's angular, mechanical presence. Luminous sword hands and applied indices ensure legibility even as the skeleton dial reveals the perpetual motion beneath.
Water-resistant to 50 metres and fitted with a mineral crystal, this timepiece balances horological theatre with everyday wearability. The 11mm case height keeps the profile manageable on the wrist, while the automatic winding system eliminates battery changes and keeps the movement perpetually animated. At Cassims & Co., we stock the full range of CIGA DESIGN watches and invite you to experience this skeleton automatic in person at our Mall of the South boutique. Should you require any future servicing, our watch servicing and repairs team stands ready to support your timepiece throughout its life.
The Falcon Z039-GG01-1G is designed for collectors who appreciate visible mechanics and contemporary industrial design. Its skeleton architecture transforms the watch into a wearable kinetic sculpture, where the passage of time becomes a visual performance rather than a hidden function.

FAQ
Q: What makes the CIGA DESIGN Falcon unique?
A: The Falcon features a fully open-worked skeleton dial that exposes the self-developed CD-02 automatic movement from both front and back. Every gear and bridge is visible through sapphire crystal windows, transforming timekeeping into a visual mechanical display enhanced by contrasting gold accents against the black dial architecture.
Q: Does an automatic watch require a battery?
A: No. The Falcon is powered by an automatic mechanical movement that winds itself through the natural motion of your wrist. As long as you wear it regularly, the watch will maintain its power reserve without ever requiring a battery replacement.
Q: What is the case size and will it suit my wrist?
A: The Falcon has a 44mm case diameter with an 11mm thickness. This is a bold, contemporary size suited to those who appreciate a commanding wrist presence. We recommend visiting our boutique to try the watch on and assess the fit personally.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or diving?
A: With 50 metres of water resistance, the Falcon can withstand splashes, rain and brief immersion, but it is not designed for swimming, showering or water sports. The unidirectional rotating bezel is a design feature rather than a dive-rated complication.
Q: What is the PVD coating on the case?
A: Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) is a process that bonds a durable grey finish to the stainless steel case. This coating provides scratch resistance and a distinct matte aesthetic that complements the industrial design of the Falcon.
Q: Can I see the movement through the case back?
A: Yes. The Falcon features both a skeleton dial on the front and a transparent case back, offering a complete 360-degree view of the CD-02 automatic movement in operation.
Q: Is CIGA DESIGN a recognised watch brand?
A: Yes. CIGA DESIGN is a contemporary Chinese brand celebrated for innovative mechanical design and transparent architecture. The brand has won multiple international design awards, including the prestigious Red Dot Award, and is recognised for bringing accessible haute horology aesthetics to a modern audience.

Care Guide
- Keep your automatic watch wound by wearing it regularly. If not worn for extended periods, manually wind the crown approximately 20-30 turns to restart the movement.
- Avoid exposing the watch to strong magnetic fields (speakers, laptops, magnetic clasps) which can affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Do not operate the crown or any pushers while the watch is wet or submerged.
- Clean the case and bracelet periodically with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove oils, dust and perspiration.
- Avoid impact and extreme temperatures. While robust, the mechanical movement and mineral crystal can be damaged by hard knocks.
- Have the watch serviced every 3-5 years by a qualified watchmaker to maintain optimal performance and lubrication of the movement.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
