How about a Blue Planet with a deeper blue enamel ocean and white gold with a matching ceramic? At 2K, this is luxury watch territory.
@brianmsahin Жыл бұрын
There is a blue one already, though I imagine it's just a stainless steel case, not sure about the dial material. I like your idea, for the price, your suggestions would be appropriate. 👍
@RelativeTime Жыл бұрын
I think the original had a Titanium and a Steel version. No idea what the dial is made of. Although if they really wanted to push the environmental side of their message, they probably should have looked at recycled ocean plastic. Done a bio-cermaic thing like swatch. Plus that would have dropped the price.

I totally agree with your point about it being static in real time. It's a very interesting concept and cool design, yet the novelty wears off quickly. Imo if the globe compass pointer was geared to be the second "hand" instead of it being the hour, it would start far more conversations than I'm sure it already does. The way it would catch the light as it spins every 60 seconds would be pretty neat if you ask me. I also realize the globe is probably too heavy to be the second "hand". Although in my head I'm thinking, maybe if you throw in some extra gears and a bigger mainspring it could be possible. Obviously I'm not a watchmaker, either way, it's a cool watch.

It's a very nice piece. I'm not sure how it would fit into my collection though. What on earth you would wear with a watch like that is tricky too. For that kind of money, I would be looking at Longines.

Oh yes, the flying saucer... in gold, pricewise too! As (almost...) all CIGAs, a pass, other than the... packaging! Thanks Shane, be well mate, cheers. PS Steel, titanium, silver, ceramic, gold... what's next? bronze with enamel i guess... 🤪[copy of my comment in another review of this]

It's not for me but I do fully understand why people like it. It's certainly different, more jewelry on the wrist rather than watch. I'm not surprised it won an award though. The lug design is very reminiscent of how Seiko do it with the Turtle.

Well if there is one thing I've learned over the last 5 years, it's that there is no such thing as a completely free watch. Just like with lunch. Not only do I spend quite a bit of time making the review, but if the promotional tag is up, then that watch is also considered income by uncle same. And Uncle Sam always wants his cut every quarter. So I never pick watches because it's a freebie, but because I think there is something interesting about it.

Great review as always Shane. I don't have this gilded version, but I do have the standard one. That bracelet looks really nice. It's a shame about that issue with the quick release though. As you said it's definitely an oversight that should never have made it to production on a watch of this price.

I really like the original Blue Planet version, this gold version is cool as well. The price, on the other hand, is too much for me. 😭Hopefully someone will make an homage of this for $100! I have an "Earth, Sun, Moon" watch I bought for $30 off of Amazon last year, which is nice and unique and gets a lot of compliments from people. So that will have to do until I'm able to get a lot more money! Great review! Thank you!

I'm very curious, and hopefully, I'll get a chance to see it. It's going to be a less expensive version of the original, which is probably a good thing. The Miyota movement will make it more accessible, and thinner. Hopefully, the lume is just as good too. The only thing I'm disappointed in is no bracelet.
