CIGA Design U-Series Blue Planet Owner Review : Fascinating, conceptual and playful

Credible Chinese competition is arriving in the watchmaking world, as evidenced by this model which won the innovation prize at the GPHG in 2021. The brand was already known to some enthusiasts for its tonneau models and now it "breaks the screen" with a poetic evocation of the awareness that we must act for the planet. Despite its large size of 46mn it is easy to wear due to the absence of horns. It takes a little adaptation at the beginning in order to read the time because this is done on the one hand at the level of the navigation cross which rotates on the planet in 24 hours, which meets the hour flange (fixed) and the minute flange which rotates in 1 hour. It seems complex but it is very simple to use. The satin-finished steel case has a rounded shape which integrates perfectly with the domed sapphire crystal and highlights all the details of the dial representing the planet. The very comfortable rubber strap is of quality and equipped with quick fasteners. This very beautiful watch "piece" also allows you to start a conversation when you wear it, on watchmaking, ecological or any other subjects.
