The strap has two keepers, and interestingly, two pairs of little prongs along the edges to hold one of them in place. The blue ocean features an almost lustrous hue, while the shining metallic landforms are instantly recognizable, with the Himalayas rising up off the disc. The movement developed for the Blue Planet is a collaborative effort between CIGA and Chinese watchmaker Sea-Gull. Don’t get me wrong nothing wrong with any of this I just think that this is the ‘hidden message’ so to speak. To see Earth as it is — a tiny rock flying through the vastness of space — is to experience one of the stronger reality checks afforded to humankind.

Instead we see Africa, Asia, Australia, and the Middle East, which is fitting for a Chinese watch designed by a Chinese man.On top of the blue sphere is an aluminum impression of parts of Asia, Africa, and the Middle East with a small compass used as the hour hand (More on that in a second). The titanium alloy case is constructed of recycled metal and the strap features a special design for the edition, with commemorative text and a reiteration of the dial’s globe.

The CIGA Design team may learn a lot from them, especially the social media marketing tricks from the Kurono Tokyo team on how to build a strong fan base. The intricate dial, crafted with micro-craving and multi-layer 24K gilding, reproduces the Earth in the same continent-and-ocean ratio and depicts the real altitude of the terrain.
CIGA Design U Series Blue Planet Hands-on Review of the CIGA Design U Series Blue Planet
The planned release time was March 15, 2022, starting at 1pm GMT, 8am EST, 5am PST, or 9pm Beijing time. The Chinese firm worked with Seagull to create a movement which differs from a typical three-hander by moving the inner minute-ring 390-degrees (rather than 360-degrees) every hour. In the world of Swiss Watchmaking, it’s almost expected that a Swiss or Japanese brand would win any or all of the GPHG Awards, but CIGA beat them at their own game with the lovely Blue Planet - And man do we love it. While there was a small batch of 50 pieces made in 2021 ahead the GPHG competition, CIGA Design is gearing up for a proper worldwide release of the U Series Blue Planet soon.Impressively, CIGA Design also renders the stylized 3 o’clock crown in matching ceramic for a unified look. The intricate dial details crisp oceans, sprawling mountains,and pristine land, acting as a constant reminder of what we all share and what we must preserve. It is safe to say that GPHG is the most closely watched annual event for watch industry professionals and watch enthusiasts all over the world. It’s a rounded design with deep grooves that somewhat reminds me of the cap on a stainless steel water bottle.

The brand’s mission statement is to “redefine the aesthetics on your wrist with modern mechanical art. The rest of the book is the presentation box for the watch with pages fused to form a solid structure. As a symbol of the enduring nature of eternity, gold has stood the test of time for millennia and mustn't be overlooked.
This is the minute ring, and its rotation has been engineered so that the point on the globe always points to the correct minute. FKM is a high density rubber known for its durability against harsh temperatures and chemicals while being soft and supple. It was certainly newsworthy enough that the New York Times published an article with a sensational title “ The Chinese watch brand that beat the Swiss ”. Origine e Riconoscimenti:** Anche se l'azienda è cinese, questo orologio è un prodotto di livello internazionale. This is possible thanks to the movement’s modified gearing ratio, which sees the minute ring rotate an additional 30° each hour.
