First we want to start talking about this amazing brand, founded in 2005 Azimuth is dedicated to create watches witch are exquisitely crafted, and definitely head-turners, these strictly mechanical timepieces lead the way in avant-garde Swiss Luxury Watch design for their quality and incredible affordable prices.
This article is for those how are looking for something really special, unique and different, we talk about the AZIMUTH SPACESHIP SP-1, this incredible piece revives the images of the 60`s UFO`s, the SP-1 is created as a spacecraft’s cockpit, highly stylized with a three dimensional titanium minute hand finished with a skeletonized outline that resembles a space shuttle across the universe.
The real complication on this watch is his jumping hour mechanism that moves the disk inside the hand to mark with Arabic numbers the hour (but the six witch is written to avoid confusion with the nine) and the minutes going around the dial with a small second at 6 o’clock.
The piece is complemented with the upper crown that simulates the spaceship propulsion rockets and the domed sapphire crystal gives the watch the look that their creators just wanted, a miniature complex spaceship on your wrist!!
You can find this piece in two versions one with the dial printed and a satellite picture of earth as the small second in steel or black PVD, or with the new finish with tanzanite stone and gold dust also in steel case and black PVD.
About the Technical Specifications the movement is a Unitas 6497-1 with Côtes de Geneve decoration, blue screws, with Mystery jumping hours, minutes, seconds functions and a 316 L stainless steel case in black PVD, ø 45 mm, water resistant to 3 bars
