Description
The CIGA DESIGN Hunter Black brings a stealth-inspired character to the collection's signature architecture. Combining a darkened stainless steel exterior with a fully skeletonised display, it creates a dramatic contrast that emphasises both the movement and the structure surrounding it. The result is a watch that feels bold, technical and unapologetically modern while retaining the mechanical substance that defines the Hunter series.
Inspiration & Design
The Hunter collection is built around the idea that a movement should not be hidden from view. Inspired by industrial engineering and exposed structural frameworks, the design transforms the mechanics of the watch into a defining visual feature.
In black, the architecture takes on an even more purposeful appearance. The darkened surfaces create greater contrast against the visible movement components, enhancing depth and reinforcing the technical personality of the watch. Combined with the tonneau-shaped case and integrated bracelet, the Hunter Black delivers a strong and unmistakable wrist presence.
Dial & Case Details
The open-worked dial reveals the movement beneath, allowing light to pass through different layers of the watch and creating a constantly changing visual experience. Structural bridges frame the movement while maintaining excellent legibility.
Crafted from 316L stainless steel, the case measures 43mm × 48mm excluding the crown and features the collection's distinctive tonneau profile. The black finish enhances the architectural surfaces and geometric lines, while sapphire crystal ensures lasting durability and clarity.
Movement & Mechanics
The Hunter Black is powered by CIGA DESIGN's in-house developed CD-07 automatic movement. Beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour and fitted with 24 jewels, the calibre delivers a power reserve of approximately 40 hours.
Its open construction allows the movement to become an active part of the design, encouraging the wearer to engage with the mechanics rather than simply viewing the watch as an external object.
Bracelet/Strap & Wearability
The integrated stainless steel bracelet continues the watch's monochromatic aesthetic while providing excellent comfort and flexibility. The seamless connection between case and bracelet reinforces the overall design while helping the watch wear securely on the wrist.
Despite its bold appearance, the Hunter Black remains comfortable for everyday use thanks to its balanced proportions and relatively slim profile.
Final Impression
The Hunter Black offers the most assertive expression of the collection. Its darkened finish amplifies the architectural qualities of the design while placing greater emphasis on the exposed mechanics beneath. For collectors seeking a contemporary skeleton watch with a stronger visual presence, it is one of the most compelling options within the Hunter range.
