The CIGA Design Z Hunter Black pushes the Hunter concept into a stealthier and more focused direction. Dark surfaces, angular geometry, and exposed mechanics combine to create a bold contemporary watch with strong wrist presence.
Rather than relying on bright accents, the Hunter Black creates impact through contrast, shadow, and controlled structure.
Inspiration & Design
The Z Hunter takes its inspiration from the mindset of a hunter - sharp, attentive, and always moving forward.
This concept is translated into the watch’s bold geometry and layered case architecture. The octagonal tonneau case combines angular strength with curved ergonomics, creating a distinctive silhouette that feels both modern and purposeful.
The three-layer case construction enhances structural rigidity while adding visual depth through the contrast between micro-blasted textures and polished chamfers.
Dial & Case Details
The Hunter features a fully skeletonised dial and bridge structure, offering an expansive view of the mechanical movement.
Compared with traditional skeleton watches, the architecture exposes significantly more of the movement, revealing gears, bridges, and the oscillating balance from both the front and back of the watch.
The watch is available in three distinctive finishes:
Black EditionA refined, minimalist interpretation with a darker, technical presence.
Carbon EditionA modern matte finish that introduces a more contemporary and expressive character.
Silver EditionA brighter metallic finish that highlights the geometry and architectural lines of the case.
The dial features luminescent hands and markers, ensuring readability despite the openworked construction.
Movement & Mechanics
Powering the Z Series Hunter is CIGA Design’s in-house automatic movement, calibre CD-07.
Developed over months of engineering refinement, the movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and delivers approximately 40 hours of power reserve.
The bridges are finished with a refined satin texture and chamfered edges, reflecting the brand’s commitment to combining mechanical performance with visual craftsmanship.
Bracelet/Strap & Wearability
The Hunter is paired with an H-link stainless steel bracelet, designed to balance strength with comfort.
Quick-release spring bars allow the bracelet to be easily removed without tools, while the hidden push-button clasp maintains a clean and streamlined appearance.
Despite its bold architecture, the curved tonneau case allows the watch to sit comfortably on the wrist.
Final Impression
The Z Series Hunter represents one of CIGA Design’s most striking skeleton watches. With its architectural case design, in-house movement, and expansive view of the mechanical structure, the watch offers a powerful expression of modern mechanical watchmaking.
For collectors drawn to bold design and visible mechanics, the Hunter delivers both technical intrigue and strong visual identity.
