Description
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.
