Description
The CIGA DESIGN X Series Ceramic Automatic watch in pink represents a bold fusion of avant-garde design and mechanical artistry. This striking timepiece features a fully skeletonised dial that showcases the intricate architecture of the proprietary CIGA CD-01 automatic movement, comprising over 150 individual components meticulously assembled by hand. The open-worked dial reveals the symphony of gears, bridges, and jewels in perpetual motion, framed within a high-density ceramic case that has been sintered at 1800°C for 72 hours to achieve exceptional hardness and scratch resistance.
At Cassims & Co., we are proud to offer this extraordinary example of contemporary horology that challenges conventional watchmaking aesthetics. The 48mm square case crafted from technical-grade ceramic delivers a lightweight yet robust wearing experience, whilst the transparent dial construction allows you to witness the mechanical ballet of the 24-jewel movement with its 40-hour power reserve. The soft pink ceramic case and matching integrated rubber strap create a cohesive design statement that appeals to collectors seeking something distinctly different from traditional Swiss fare.
The architectural case design incorporates exposed screws at each corner and bevelled edges that catch the light, emphasising the industrial-luxe aesthetic that defines the X Series collection. Rose gold-tone accents on the crown guards and movement bridges provide warm metallic contrast against the pale ceramic surfaces. This automatic movement requires no battery and winds itself through the natural motion of your wrist, embodying the self-sufficient elegance of mechanical watchmaking. With 30 metres of water resistance, this piece is suitable for everyday wear whilst protecting against splashes and brief immersion.
We invite you to explore our full range of CIGA DESIGN watches at our Johannesburg showroom, where our team can demonstrate the technical sophistication of this skeleton movement in person.

FAQ
Q: What makes the CIGA DESIGN X Series movement special?
A: The proprietary CIGA CD-01 automatic movement comprises over 150 individually crafted components with 24 jewels, all visible through the fully skeletonised dial construction. This architectural approach to movement display allows you to observe the mechanical operation in real time, celebrating the art of watchmaking rather than concealing it behind a traditional dial.
Q: How durable is the ceramic case construction?
A: The high-density ceramic case is sintered at 1800°C for 72 hours, creating an extremely hard material that ranks approximately 1200-1400 on the Vickers hardness scale. This makes it highly resistant to scratches from everyday wear, though ceramic can be susceptible to impact damage from hard drops, so care should be taken during physical activities.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or water sports?
A: With 30 metres (3 ATM) water resistance, this timepiece is protected against splashes, rain, and brief immersion such as handwashing. However, it is not suitable for swimming, showering, or any water sports. We recommend keeping the crown fully screwed down when not adjusting the time to maintain water resistance integrity.
Q: How do I wind and set this automatic watch?
A: As an automatic movement, the watch winds itself through the natural motion of your wrist during daily wear. If the watch has stopped due to non-wear, you can manually wind it by unscrewing the crown and rotating it clockwise approximately 20-30 times until you feel resistance. Pull the crown out to the time-setting position to adjust the hands, then push back and screw down firmly.
Q: What is the power reserve, and how long can it run without wearing?
A: The CIGA CD-01 movement provides a 40-hour power reserve when fully wound. This means if you take the watch off on Friday evening, it should continue running through Sunday morning. For optimal accuracy and longevity, we recommend wearing the watch regularly or using a watch winder if it forms part of a rotation.
Q: Can the pink ceramic case fade or discolour over time?
A: High-density ceramic maintains its colour permanently as the pigmentation is integrated throughout the material during the sintering process, not applied as a surface coating. The pink hue will not fade from UV exposure or daily wear, ensuring the watch retains its distinctive aesthetic character for decades.
Q: Is the 48mm case size too large for smaller wrists?
A: The 48mm measurement represents the width of the square case including the crown guards. Due to the integrated strap design and lightweight ceramic construction, the watch wears smaller than traditional 48mm round cases. We recommend trying the piece in person at our Johannesburg showrooms to assess the fit on your wrist, as the square shape and lug-to-lug dimension significantly affect perceived size.

Care guide
- Clean the ceramic case and rubber strap regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water to remove oils, dust, and residue
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes, magnetic fields, or impact that could affect movement accuracy
- Ensure the crown is fully screwed down after any adjustment to maintain the 30-metre water resistance rating
- Do not operate the crown whilst underwater or when the watch is wet, as moisture can enter the case
- Remove the watch before showering, swimming, or engaging in contact sports to protect both the ceramic case and the movement
- Store the watch in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight when not wearing; consider a watch winder if the timepiece is part of a rotation to maintain power reserve
- Have the movement serviced every 3-5 years by a qualified watchmaker to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the automatic calibre
- Avoid exposing the watch to chemicals, solvents, perfumes, or cosmetics that may degrade the rubber strap material
- If the watch stops running, manually wind it by rotating the crown clockwise approximately 20-30 times before wearing
