The CIGA Design U-Series Black Hole is a bold statement in contemporary horology, merging avant-garde design with precision mechanical engineering. This striking automatic timepiece features a mesmerising black dial with concentric circular textures that evoke the gravitational pull of a celestial black hole — a conceptual design that challenges conventional watch aesthetics. The dial is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, ensuring clarity and durability for years to come. Housed in a robust 44mm stainless steel case finished in matte black PVD coating, the U-Series exudes modern sophistication and stands as a testament to CIGA Design's commitment to innovation. At Cassim & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer of CIGA DESIGN watches, bringing you access to some of the most avant-garde timepieces available in South Africa today.
Powered by an automatic mechanical movement, the U-Series requires no battery — it harnesses the kinetic energy of your wrist's natural motion to keep precise time. The exhibition caseback reveals the intricate mechanics at work, offering a glimpse into the artistry of watchmaking that enthusiasts appreciate. The 22mm fluorubber strap is both comfortable and resilient, perfectly complementing the industrial aesthetic of the case. Water-resistant to 3 ATM (30 metres), the Black Hole is suitable for everyday wear, though it is not recommended for swimming or submersion. This is a watch designed for those who appreciate bold design, mechanical precision, and the conversation that comes with wearing something truly distinctive.

Care Guide
- Daily Wear: The automatic movement requires regular wrist motion to maintain power reserve. If not worn daily, consider using a watch winder to keep the movement running.
- Water Exposure: With 3 ATM water resistance, avoid submersion, swimming, and showering. Remove the watch before contact with water beyond light splashes.
- Cleaning: Wipe the case and sapphire crystal gently with a soft, lint-free microfibre cloth. For the fluorubber strap, use a damp cloth with mild soap to remove oils and perspiration, then dry thoroughly.
- Storage: When not in use, store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, magnetic fields, and extreme temperatures. Use the original box or a dedicated watch case.
- Servicing: Automatic movements benefit from professional servicing every 3-5 years to maintain accuracy and longevity. Our watch servicing team can assist with routine maintenance and adjustments.
- Crown Operation: Avoid adjusting the time or date when the watch is on your wrist. Remove the watch, gently pull the crown to the appropriate position, and return it fully after adjustments.
- Magnetism: Keep the watch away from strong magnetic sources such as speakers, mobile phones, and laptops, as magnetic fields can affect movement accuracy.
- Impact: While the stainless steel case and sapphire crystal offer good protection, avoid dropping the watch or subjecting it to heavy impacts that could damage the movement.
