AQUASAPHIR CYAN DIAL CYAN BEZEL

Boasting a spectacular sapphire crystal casing with an unprecedented water resistance of 60m, the AquaSaphir with Cyan Dial and Cyan Bezel by ArtyA is a visually stunning proposition. Astounding in its construction and arrangement this edition features a beautiful hand-enamelled dial in graduating tones of turquoise to white, complemented by a cyan-tinted NanoSapphire bezel. A functional, yet aesthetically unique model, the watch enjoys the advantage of a superb automatic ArtyOn COSC certified chronometer calibre and comes presented on a rubber strap.

One of the most extraordinary Swiss independent watch brands in existence, ArtyA is the brainchild and passion of Yvan Arpa, an individual renowned for his contribution to the watch industry. The company exploded onto the scene in 2010 with a series of timepieces designed to thrill the aesthetic senses. Characterised by avant-garde styling, each ArtyA timepiece is crafted in the company’s Manufacture by their small, skilled team and, while maintaining the integrity of Haute Horlogerie standards is engrained within their DNA, so too is the refusal to conform with traditional styling cues. Acclaimed for their use of revolutionary materials and having debuted numerous industry-firsts, the AquaSaphir has the distinction of being the first sapphire cased aquatic watch that is capable of withstanding depths of 60 metres.

Sized at 41mm diameter, the case of the AquaSaphir with Cyan Dial and Cyan Bezel watch by ArtyA is manufactured from sapphire crystal, and incredibly, no steel elements have been used in its construction. Crafted using cutting-edge processes, the transparent material has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale ensuring that it will have excellent scratch-resistance, and it is sealed to withstand depths of 60 metres. Enhancing the presence of the case, the fixed bezel is of the brand’s own cyan-tinted NanoSapphire which complements the dial surface and is enhanced with markers and numerals executed in brilliant white.

Displaying graduated tones the dial has been beautifully hand-enamelled using graduated tones, beginning with vibrant turquoise at the upper, fading to pristine white at the lower sector. At the centre of the ArtyA AquaSaphir with Cyan Dial and Cyan Bezel the artisan has blended the two main colour tones magnificently so that the mid-dial is brimming with nuances of gorgeous aquamarine hues.

Adhering to the design language of a functional divers watch, the hour and minutes hands on Artya's AquaSaphir with Cyan Dial and Cyan Bezel are robust and are accompanied by a slender seconds hand and a date window recessed at the 3 o’clock. Prominent triangular hour markers alternate with smaller rectangular examples, and with a liberal coating of luminescent material, the indications emit a blue-green glow ensuring readability in poor light conditions.

Beating within the sapphire case and fully exposed at the rear, the exclusive ArtyAOn COSC certified automatic Swiss movement has a power reserve of 42 hours, beating at 28’800 vib/h, and is beautifully decorated with Côtes de Genève and with Rose Gold NAC.

Characterised by a highly technical case, together with its alluring enamel dial and cyan-tinted bezel, the ArtyA AquaSaphir with Cyan Dial and Cyan Bezel is an exceptional timepiece that promises a wonderfully stylish presence on the wrist. The model comes presented on a turquoise or white rubber strap.
