The CIGA Design Falcon Z039-SS01-1S is a striking statement in contemporary horology, where industrial-grade engineering meets avant-garde transparency. This round automatic skeleton watch houses its mechanics in a 43.5mm stainless steel 316L case, finished in brushed silver that catches the light with architectural precision. The fully skeletonised dial reveals the automatic movement in intricate detail, its gears and bridges exposed beneath a mineral crystal, while luminous green hour and minute hands ensure legibility even in low light. A rotating bezel with engraved numerals frames the dial, adding both functional utility and bold visual presence to the design.
At 9.5mm thick, the case profile is remarkably slim for a skeleton watch of this complexity, allowing the Falcon to slip comfortably under a cuff while retaining its mechanical theatre. The automatic movement—visible through both dial and caseback—requires no battery, instead drawing its power from the motion of the wearer's wrist, a self-sustaining dance of gears and rotors that defines mechanical watchmaking. The stainless steel bracelet, constructed from the same 316L grade steel as the case, features a solid-link architecture that balances weight and wrist presence, secured by a folding clasp.
Water resistance to 50 metres provides peace of mind for everyday wear, protecting the movement from splashes and brief immersion, though diving and swimming are not recommended. The Falcon's design language is unapologetically modern—its exposed gears and industrial aesthetic appeal to collectors who appreciate transparency in both mechanics and design philosophy. At Cassims & Co., we stock the full range of CIGA DESIGN watches, bringing cutting-edge watchmaking from this innovative brand to South Africa. Visit us at our Mall of the South boutique to experience the Falcon's intricate movement in person, or arrange nationwide delivery. Should you require adjustments or future maintenance, our watch servicing and repairs team is equipped to support your timepiece throughout its life.
This is a watch for those who value mechanical authenticity and are unafraid to wear their philosophy on their wrist—a skeleton that doesn't hide, but celebrates the craft beneath the surface.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch powered by a battery?
A: No, the Falcon Z039-SS01-1S is powered by an automatic movement, which means it winds itself through the natural motion of your wrist. No battery replacement is ever required—simply wear it regularly or use a watch winder when not in use.
Q: What does 'skeleton dial' mean?
A: A skeleton dial is one in which the traditional dial has been removed or cut away to reveal the inner workings of the movement. In the Falcon, you can observe the gears, bridges, and escapement in motion, offering a transparent view of the mechanical craftsmanship inside.
Q: Can I swim or shower with this watch?
A: The Falcon is water-resistant to 50 metres, which is suitable for splashes and brief immersion, but we do not recommend swimming, showering, or diving with this watch. The skeleton construction and mineral crystal require careful handling around water.
Q: How often does an automatic watch need servicing?
A: Automatic watches generally benefit from a professional service every 3-5 years to ensure optimal performance. Our servicing team at Cassims & Co. can assess and maintain your CIGA Design watch to keep it running accurately.
Q: Is the bracelet adjustable?
A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet can be resized to fit your wrist. Contact our team for sizing assistance—adjustments can be carried out at our Mall of the South boutique.
Q: What is the power reserve of the automatic movement?
A: CIGA Design does not publish a specific power reserve figure for the Falcon, but most automatic movements of this type offer approximately 38-42 hours of reserve when fully wound. If you remove the watch overnight, it will continue running until the reserve is depleted.
Q: Does this watch come with the original CIGA Design packaging?
A: Yes, the Falcon Z039-SS01-1S is supplied in its original CIGA Design presentation box with all accompanying documentation and warranty materials.

Care Guide
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints and perspiration.
- Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, and direct impacts, all of which can affect automatic movement accuracy.
- Do not operate the crown or rotating bezel when the watch is wet, as moisture may enter the case.
- If the watch has not been worn for an extended period, manually wind it by rotating the crown clockwise approximately 20-30 times to restart the movement.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. A watch winder is recommended to maintain continuous operation if the watch is part of a rotation.
- Do not attempt to open the caseback yourself. Any inspection or servicing of the movement must be carried out by a qualified watchmaker.
- Keep the watch away from solvents, perfumes, cosmetics, and cleaning agents, which may damage the case finish or seals.
