Covered by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal that is bound to last long and reveals every detail on the dial. Personally, I think the price is a little too steep. I can imagine many people viewing the watch as a novelty and finding it unjustifiable.
CIGA Blue Planet Review: A Truly Unique Watch - The Slender Wrist CIGA Blue Planet Review: A Truly Unique Watch - The Slender Wrist
of the universe. It's been a while since CIGA Design debuted a hybrid of the timepiece and Blue Planet, we The crown action feels nice and smooth when you’re setting the time, but it’s a little difficult to grip when the crown is recessed and you just want to wind the movement. In summary, don't think twice. If it's in your budget and you enjoy novel and intricate workings, just get it. It's beautiful, it wrks really, really well, it's different, and did I mention it's beautiful? It's beautiful... Just in case I forgot to say so. Enjoy! The Blue Planet’s perfectly circular case is radially brushed. The case measures in at 46mm but wears smaller because of its lugless design. Due to the curved underside, it sits atop the wrist like a pebble. The Blue Planet on my 6.5” wrist. Overall, the design is cool, but I find myself missing the sense of motion you get from a traditional three hander’s second sweep. Since there’s no seconds indicator, there isn’t really a way to know if the watch is running at a glance.Unfortunately, the Blue Planet only has a water resistance of 3 ATM. I would love to see what the sapphire crystal over the globe looks like underwater, but not at the expense of the watch’s functionality. But the water resistance is fitting for the design. This is a statement watch, not a tool watch. In the arenas it’s best worn in, this level of water resistance is plenty. The Blue Planet comes in two versions, stainless steel and titanium. Here we’ll be looking at the titanium. Right off the bat, I think the product photos are misleading. The crown is recessed into a cutaway in the case, and the underside of the crown hangs just below, giving you a spot to pop it out with a fingernail. The design of the crown is pretty unique as well. Here you can make out Africa to the west, Asia to the north, Australia to the east, and Antarctica southeast. Perhaps as a nod to CIGA’s home, they’ve oriented the compass pointing north, toward China at the top of the globe.

The sporty yet stylish fluoro rubber naturally complements the dial and can be dressed up or dressed down. I get what you mean but it would also be weird if it was European and didn’t have Africa and Asia 😅 world for eons. The world reveals itself in all its majesty, a blue planet spinning gracefully in the vast expanse The most interesting part of this watch and the reasons why it was awarded the ‘Challenge Prize’ at the GPHG 2021 is because of its unique way of telling time, its story, and the movement that was designed by CIGA Design. The Blue Planet watch is equipped with a blue anodized aluminum domed dial with silvered micro-craving of the earth. A good reminder for us watch lovers to love and protect the Earth, our only home. The CIGA Design Blue Planet is the first Chinese Made watch to ever win at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève and to make it to the shortlist of the nominees. In November 2021, the CIGA Design Blue Planet was awarded the GPHG 2021 Challenge Prize —watches priced under CHF 3,500 Swiss Francs— while competing against other ‘budget-friendly’ or affordable timepieces that included the Doxa SUB 200 C-GRAPH Caribbean, Oris Divers Sixty-Five Cotton Candy, Massena Lab Uni-Racer, Anordain Model 1-Payne’s Grey Fumé and the Furlan Marri Mr. Grey.I get what you’re saying but a better comparison would be if it did show Europe and the US but not the rest of the world lol.
CIGA Design Blue Planet - BEYOND THE DIAL Hands-On Review CIGA Design Blue Planet - BEYOND THE DIAL
What makes this design unique is that the time can be read with only one hand. Instead of rotating 360 degrees every hour, the minute ring rotates 390 degrees. This means its origin point, 00, advances with each passing hour. If that sounds confusing, it’s much easier to understand visually. filed under: Blancpain, Insights, Insights, Podcasts, STRUCTURAL - Full Width Article Image, STRUCTURAL - Top Story, Swatch Origine e Riconoscimenti:** Anche se l'azienda è cinese, questo orologio è un prodotto di livello internazionale. La vittoria del Challenge Watch Prize del GPHG 2021 ne è una chiara testimonianza. In my opinion, the Blue Planet we’ll be reviewing today is the standout piece in their collection, both for its aesthetics and mechanics, and we’ll see why. Readability became a breeze once I reoriented myself to the unique nature by which the Blue Planet tells time. The single pointer with the clearly notated hour and minute rings makes reading it easier than some more typical yet minimal watches.Couldn't get my eyes off from it. Love it. Just that minute's r difficult to read. Probably a.radium or illumination in datk would help a lot. Definetly not something to wear late datk hours
Great Deal
