CIGA Design Falcon: A New Round Skeleton Watch That Holds Time in Tension

By RED ARMY WATCHES SDN BHDMarch 31, 2026

A Different Way to Read Time.

Some watches tell time. Others make you feel it. The new CIGA design Falcon belongs firmly in the latter. Following the global recognition of the Blue Planet, this latest release shifts the brand’s language into something sharper, more architectural — a watch that doesn’t just display time, but suspends it in motion. At first glance, it’s a skeleton watch. Look closer, and it becomes something else entirely: tension, structure, and mechanical presence held in balance.

Open From Front to Back — True Skeletonisation

CIGA design has never treated skeletonisation as decoration — and the Falcon proves it. The Falcon features a back-to-front open design, allowing the movement to be fully visible from nearly every angle. Instead of hiding behind layers, the mechanics become the dial itself.

At the centre sits the self-developed CD-02 automatic movement, mounted on transparent supports that create a striking floating effect. The result? A watch that feels alive — not enclosed, but suspended in space.

A Round Case, Reimagined

Unlike many of CIGA’s previous tonneau or avant-garde shapes, the Falcon returns to a round case — but with a twist.

43.5mm stainless steel case
Slim ~11mm thickness
Micro-sandblasted surfaces with sharp, angular finishing
Rare open-worked lugs and crown guards

This isn’t a traditional round watch. It’s a round form pushed to the edge — where geometry meets tension. The layered bezel, with raised numerals and contrasting finishes, adds another dimension of depth and rhythm.

A Movement That Floats

At the heart of the Falcon is its biggest talking point — the CD-02 automatic calibre.

28,800 vph (4Hz)
~40-hour power reserve
26 jewels
Accuracy: -15 to +30 sec/day

But specs aren’t the story here. What matters is how it’s presented.

The movement is visibly suspended, surrounded by negative space. A circular base plate with gear-like teeth doubles as a minute scale, turning the entire architecture into a functional display.

On the Wrist: Presence Without Excess

Despite its bold design, the Falcon wears surprisingly balanced.

H-link steel bracelet with tapered fit
Hidden push-button clasp
Clean integration from case to wrist

The finishing — micro-sandblasted surfaces, polished accents, chamfered edges — gives it a tactile quality that feels far more considered than its price suggests.

Why the Falcon Matters

The Falcon sits in an interesting space within modern watchmaking. At just below MYR 2500 , it delivers:

A self-developed movement
A fully open-worked architecture
A distinct design language

All at a level rarely seen in this segment.

Final Thoughts

The Falcon isn’t trying to be traditional. And that’s exactly why it works. It takes the idea of a skeleton watch — often overused — and redefines it through structure, suspension, and clarity. For the ones who want something different, but still wearable…
This might be one of the most compelling releases from CIGA design yet.
