Un Blue Watch
Un Blue Watch is an innovative timepiece that revolutionizes traditional watch design through its distinctive triangular case shape, symbolizing stability and peace. This avant-garde watch, designed by Xuanying Jiang and team, represents a significant departure from conventional watch aesthetics while incorporating sustainable materials and advanced functionality. The design features a thoughtfully engineered 5.5-degree tilt in its case and glass configuration, optimizing readability by aligning the dial perpendicular to the user's line of sight. The watch showcases exceptional attention to detail with its curved sapphire glass cover, providing superior clarity and protection while incorporating the Swiss Super-luminova luminous system for enhanced nighttime legibility. Distinguished by its environmental consciousness, the design uniquely repurposes high-quality plastic composite waste from military equipment transformations into functional components such as shockproof bezels and straps. The watch measures 44.5x45.0mm with a thickness of 14.2mm and features a stainless steel construction with black metal PVD treatment. Its innovative strap system offers both Velcro leather and recycled silicone options, combining practicality with sustainability. The design, which earned the Silver A' Design Award in the Watch Design category, masterfully blends contemporary military-inspired aesthetics with urban fashion sensibilities, featuring camouflage patterns juxtaposed with vibrant blue hues that appeal to modern gorp core and city boy fashion trends. The watch is water-resistant up to 50 meters and includes a see-through case back that showcases its mechanical movement, embodying a perfect synthesis of form and function.
