CIGA Design has unveiled the Blue Planet II Black Star Edition, a striking collaboration with Swiss atelier Label Noir that reimagines its Blue Planet series through a cosmic lens.
Departing from Earth-inspired motifs, the Black Star Edition ventures into deep space with a dial designed to evoke a black hole. At its center lies an 8.5mm concave pit coated in Super Black pigment, absorbing 99.6% of light to create a void-like visual effect. Surrounding this are spiral galaxy patterns rendered in CMYK gradient printing, with a luminous polar-star hand orbiting above to indicate time.
The watch features a 46mm Grade 2 titanium case finished with black DLC coating, paired with a black fluororubber strap and folding clasp. Its sapphire crystal glass offers scratch resistance and anti-reflective clarity, while water resistance is rated at 3 ATM.
Inside, the Swiss-made CD-04-S automatic movement powers the timepiece, utilizing CIGA Design’s proprietary Asynchronous-Follow Technology. This mechanism rotates the hour ring by 30 degrees and the minute ring by 390 degrees, delivering a fluid and intuitive single-hand time display. With a frequency of 28,800 vph, the timepiece offers around 41 hours of power reserve,
Retailing at $1,980 USD, the Label Noir-collaborated Blue Planet II Black Star Edition watch is currently available via CIGA design’s official webstore.
