Building upon the legacy of the original Blue Planet, winner of the prestigious 2021 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève Challenge Watch Prize, the Black Star Edition shifts its focus beyond Earth and into the mysteries of deep space. Designed around the concept of contrast between light and darkness, gravity and freedom, the familiar and the unknown, this remarkable watch transforms the wrist into a miniature universe. At the centre of the dial sits an 8.50mm black hole-inspired concave pit, precision CNC-machined and coated with industry-leading Super Black pigment that absorbs more than 99% of visible light, creating a profound void-like visual effect. Surrounding this cosmic centre, spiral-painted stars and luminous markers recreate the motion of a distant galaxy, while a luminous Polar Star hand glides above the dial to create a uniquely intuitive display of time. The intricate dial construction requires advanced micro-machining techniques, including diamond-tipped engraving and specialised finishing processes that enhance depth, texture, and visual realism. Protected beneath anti-reflective sapphire crystal, the cosmos-inspired display showcases exceptional clarity while reinforcing the Black Star’s status as a contemporary work of mechanical art. Housed within a lightweight 46mm DLC-coated Grade 2 titanium case, the watch delivers exceptional durability, scratch resistance, and a striking monochromatic aesthetic that perfectly complements the celestial theme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePowering the watch is the Swiss-made \u003cstrong\u003eCD-04-S automatic calibre\u003c\/strong\u003e, featuring CIGA Design’s iconic Asynchronous-Follow Technology that revolutionises traditional mechanical timekeeping. Operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour with 26 jewels and a 41-hour power reserve, the movement utilises reconfigured gear ratios that allow the hour indication to travel through a precise 30-degree arc while the dynamic minute ring completes a dramatic 390-degree rotation. This unconventional single-reference-point display creates an engaging and highly intuitive method of reading time while showcasing the innovative engineering that has become synonymous with the Blue Planet collection. The DLC-coated titanium case combines impressive strength-to-weight performance with a deep black finish that echoes the dial’s cosmic void, while brushed surfaces add subtle texture and visual sophistication. A premium fluororubber strap enhances flexibility, resilience, and long-term comfort, secured by a seamless hidden clasp that preserves the watch’s clean architectural profile. Additional features include Swiss Super-LumiNova illumination, a deep-groove textured crown, sapphire crystal protection, and 3ATM water resistance for dependable daily wear. More than a luxury automatic watch, the Black Star Edition represents a bold exploration of time, space, and contemporary design philosophy. Combining award-winning horological innovation, Swiss mechanical excellence, and extraordinary cosmic artistry, the CIGA Design x Label Noir Blue Planet II Black Star Automatic Watch is a truly exceptional collector’s timepiece for enthusiasts seeking originality, technical creativity, and uncompromising modern watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CIGA","offers":[{"title":"Titanium","offer_id":54047660376405,"sku":"CGI-023","price":1799.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0886\/3996\/3477\/files\/ciga-design-label-noir-black-hole-automatic-watch-front-dial-view.png?v=1780334332","url":"https:\/\/www.clarindon.co.uk\/products\/ciga-design-blue-planet-ii-black-star-edition-watch-u035-bb01-w6b","provider":"Clarindon Jewellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
