The CIGA DESIGN Vector Stainless Steel distils the collection's vision into its most fundamental form. Inspired by precision, control and the disciplined pursuit of performance, the Vector transforms mechanical watchmaking into a study of motion and structure. Its skeletonised architecture reveals the movement beneath, while the flowing case profile and integrated design language create a watch that feels purposeful from every angle. Combining contemporary engineering with everyday wearability, the Stainless Steel model offers the purest expression of Vector's mechanical identity. Inspiration & Design The Vector collection is built around a simple idea: mastery comes not from force, but from control. Drawing inspiration from motorsport instrumentation, precision engineering and the rhythm of mechanical systems, the design explores how movement itself can become a visual language. Rather than relying on traditional dial layouts, Vector uses an open-worked architecture that allows the wearer to engage directly with the movement. Speedometer-inspired bezel markings, layered construction and exposed structural elements reinforce the collection's racing influence without becoming overly literal. The result is a watch that feels technical, modern and unmistakably CIGA DESIGN. Dial & Case Details The skeletonised display reveals more than 50% of the movement from front to back, allowing gears, bridges and mechanical components to become part of the overall aesthetic. Rather than serving as decoration, the open-worked design highlights the logical relationship between the watch's moving parts. The 44.5mm case is crafted from 316L stainless steel and paired with a domed sapphire crystal featuring anti-reflective treatment. The layered bezel incorporates raised numerals and speedometer-inspired detailing that add depth and character while maintaining a clean, purposeful appearance. Matte and polished surfaces interact to create subtle contrast throughout the watch. Movement & Mechanics At the heart of the Vector is CIGA DESIGN's self-developed CD-02X automatic calibre. Operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, the movement incorporates 25 jewels and delivers approximately 38 hours of power reserve. A key feature of the movement is its KE-efficient rotor, which reduces rotor footprint while optimising winding efficiency. The calibre is suspended within the case using a transparent synthetic support structure, creating the illusion that the movement is floating within the watch. This unique arrangement improves visibility while reinforcing the collection's emphasis on mechanical transparency. Bracelet/Strap & Wearability The Vector is fitted with a black woven-pattern fluororubber strap secured by a hidden clasp. Combining durability, flexibility and comfort, the strap complements the technical nature of the watch while remaining practical for everyday wear. Despite its substantial visual presence, the case remains well balanced on the wrist thanks to its flowing profile and integrated lug design. At 12.7mm thick including the crystals, the Vector wears comfortably while maintaining a strong and distinctive presence. Final Impression The Vector Stainless Steel is the foundation upon which the collection is built. Clean, mechanical and purposeful, it showcases the design language of the series in its most direct form. For collectors seeking a contemporary skeleton watch that balances technical innovation with everyday versatility, it represents an excellent introduction to the world of CIGA DESIGN.

The CIGA DESIGN Hunter Gold combines the collection's architectural design language with striking gold accents that elevate its visual presence. By pairing dark surfaces with warm metallic highlights, it creates a distinctive balance between technical engineering and contemporary luxury. The result is a skeleton watch that feels both mechanically engaging and visually sophisticated. Inspiration & Design At its core, the Hunter collection celebrates transparency, structure and mechanical expression. Inspired by modern architecture and industrial engineering, the design exposes the movement rather than hiding it, allowing the mechanics themselves to become part of the aesthetic experience. The Gold variant introduces a new dimension to the collection through carefully placed gold accents that highlight key structural elements. Against the darker case and bracelet, these details create depth, contrast and a stronger sense of visual drama while preserving the Hunter's unmistakable architectural identity. Dial & Case Details The skeletonised dial provides a clear view of the movement beneath, revealing the intricate network of bridges, wheels and mechanical components that power the watch. The layered construction creates depth and visual complexity without compromising readability. The 43mm × 48mm case is crafted from 316L stainless steel and features the same tonneau-shaped architecture that defines the Hunter collection. The combination of dark surfaces and gold accents emphasises the geometry of the case while creating a more luxurious overall presentation. Movement & Mechanics The Hunter Gold is powered by the in-house developed CD-07 automatic calibre. Operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, the movement features 24 jewels and offers a power reserve of approximately 40 hours. Visible throughout the watch, the movement becomes an integral part of the overall design, reinforcing the collection's focus on transparency and mechanical engagement. Bracelet/Strap & Wearability The integrated stainless steel bracelet creates a seamless visual flow from case to clasp while ensuring excellent comfort on the wrist. Its design mirrors the angular architecture of the case, helping maintain a cohesive overall appearance. The balanced proportions and 12.1mm thickness ensure the watch remains comfortable despite its bold visual character. Final Impression The Hunter Gold is the most expressive member of the collection. By combining exposed mechanics, architectural design and luxurious detailing, it delivers a contemporary interpretation of the skeleton watch that feels both distinctive and sophisticated. It is a watch designed for collectors who enjoy mechanical transparency but also appreciate a stronger visual statement.

The Shanghai Watch Commander Dive 39mm is built as a compact, functional dive watch designed for everyday reliability. It combines a robust case with a clean, legible layout, keeping the focus on usability. Inspiration & Cultural Design The Commander series traces its origins to the 1960s, when the Shanghai Watch Factory developed the 114 Series - China’s first self-designed military automatic diving watch. Built for the People’s Liberation Army, it was engineered for durability, with shock resistance, anti-magnetism, and water resistance up to 200 meters. Issued to division-level commanders, it became associated with leadership and reliability in demanding conditions. The modern Commander Diver draws from this foundation, retaining the utilitarian design language while updating performance to meet contemporary standards, including increased water resistance. The result is a watch that balances historical reference with practical functionality. Dial & Case Details The gray dial offers a more understated alternative, using tone rather than contrast to create visual interest. It keeps the watch versatile while maintaining strong readability. Markers and hands are designed for clear visibility, supporting the watch’s tool-oriented purpose. The 39mm case keeps the watch compact while maintaining the presence expected of a dive watch. A unidirectional bezel supports timing functionality, while a sapphire crystal protects the dial. Movement & Mechanics Powered by an automatic mechanical movement, the watch delivers dependable performance for daily and active use. The focus remains on reliability and consistency under regular wear. Strap & Wearability The watch comes with three strap options - a metal bracelet, leather strap, and NATO strap - allowing it to adapt across different uses and settings. This flexibility lets the watch shift easily between a more robust, tool-oriented feel and a lighter, more casual configuration. Despite its functional design, the 39mm case remains comfortable on the wrist, making it suitable for extended wear across both daily and active use. Final Impression This is the most restrained version, suited for those who prefer a more neutral, everyday look within a dive watch format.
