CIGA Design EVEREST SUMMIT

The CIGA Design EVEREST SUMMIT features a 45mm Grade-5 titanium case with alternating brushed and polished finishes and crisp bezel tolerances. Its dial is crafted from processed Everest bedrock, showcasing a raised relief filled with Super-LumiNova C1, complemented by ice-axe-shaped hands also treated with Super-LumiNova. The manual-winding central tourbillon movement provides a 120-hour power reserve. On balance, reviewers highlight the unique Everest bedrock dial and ice-axe hands as distinctive design elements of the CIGA Design EVEREST SUMMIT.

Glycine Airman Purist
