Description
The CIGA Design x Label Noir Blue Planet II · Black Star Edition represents a daring leap into a new dimension of timekeeping. This collaboration between CIGA Design and the world-renowned customization house Label Noir moves beyond the grounded beauty of the original Blue Planet to explore the mysterious depths of the universe. It is a timepiece designed for those who seek the extraordinary, blending award-winning mechanical innovation with a hauntingly beautiful cosmic aesthetic.
The heart of the watch is a Swiss-made automatic caliber CD-04-S, featuring the iconic asynchronous-follow technology. This movement operates at a high frequency of 28,800 vph with 26 jewels and a 41-hour power reserve, allowing for a unique time display where the entire dial dictates the rhythm. This technical mastery is housed within a DLC-coated titanium case, which offers a brushed finish that is as durable as it is visually striking. The Diamond-Like Carbon coating ensures superior scratch resistance while providing a deep, high-end matte aesthetic.
The visual centerpiece is the Black Hole-inspired pit design. Utilizing industry-leading Super Black pigment that absorbs over 99% of light, the 8.50 mm concave center creates an immersive, void-like visual effect that mimics the gravity of a singularity. Contrasting against this “pure black” are CNC-machined luminous hands and markers that encircle the dial, glowing like distant stars in the dark expanse of space.
Protected by a sapphire crystal glass with an anti-reflective coating, every intricate detail of the cosmos-inspired dial remains visible under any lighting condition. The Black Star Edition is more than just a 2021 GPHG Challenge Watch Prize winner; it is a fusion of durability, luxury, and philosophical design. It serves as a reminder of the unknown reaches of the galaxy, brought to life on the wrist through masterful engineering and a vision that transcends traditional watchmaking boundaries.
