Description
The CIGA DESIGN Vector Carbon Fiber represents the collection at its most technical and dynamic. Combining a titanium with forged carbon fibre inserts case with the Vector's distinctive skeletonised architecture, it delivers a modern interpretation of performance-focused watchmaking. Lightweight, visually striking and engineered around mechanical transparency, it embodies the spirit of controlled energy that defines the Vector collection.
Inspiration & Design
The Vector collection explores the relationship between motion, control and mechanical precision. In the Carbon Fiber model, that philosophy is expressed through a material long associated with high-performance engineering and motorsport.
The forged carbon fibre inserts are heat-forged and CNC-machined from short carbon fibres, creating a distinctive cloud-like pattern unique to the case of each watch. This naturally varied surface gives every piece its own character while reinforcing the collection's connection to advanced materials and technical design.
Dial & Case Details
The open-worked display reveals the movement through a skeleton architecture designed to maximise visibility and depth. Layered bridges, exposed gears and structural elements create a technical visual experience that evolves as the watch moves through different lighting conditions.
The titanium with forged carbon fibre inserts case measures 44.5mm and combines exceptional lightness with a distinctive textured appearance. Protected by a domed anti-reflective sapphire crystal, the watch delivers a modern and highly technical presence on the wrist.
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.
The combination of titanium with forged carbon fibre inserts construction and fluororubber strap creates the lightest-feeling wearing experience within the collection. Flexible, durable and comfortable, it is designed to support active daily wear while maintaining the watch's technical character.
Final Impression
The Vector Carbon Fiber is the flagship expression of the collection's design philosophy. By combining advanced materials, innovative movement architecture and contemporary industrial design, it delivers a distinctive mechanical experience unlike anything else in its category.
