Lundis Bleus Essentielles ref. 1120-08 Swiss made automatic watch in 40mm stainless steel case

Chronolux Fine Watches are pleased to offer the superb Lundis Bleus Essentielles 1120-08 Swiss made automatic watch, presented in a 40mm polished stainless steel case, and featuring galvanic rose gold dial with circular brushed chapter ring, and blued steel skeletonised hands and applied indices in 4N rose gold.

The Essentielles 1120-08 by Lundis Bleus is a seductively handsome watch where the elements of contemporary design are captured in a stunning harmonious balance. A masterpiece of design it’s a watch that has retro, current day and futuristic tones, where detail is everywhere, yet each one subtle and flowingly complementary to the whole. Featuring striking blue skeletonised hands on a hand finished galvanic 4N rose gold dial beneath a box-sided sapphire crystal, a high grade Swiss automatic movement and a beautifully sculpted rounded stainless steel case, it is stylish, cool and distinctively individual, and a refreshing departure from classic, but off the shelf design.

With its narrow bezel and tall sided sapphire crystal, the dial fills out the wide expanse below, and makes the watch seem larger than its 40mm. Comprised of two main parts, the dial has a galvanic centre, which is characteristically unique in its dull, mottled finish, with a broad brushed alloy chapter ring on top, featuring applied baton indices and black markings with segmented minutes and seconds. The date opening is neatly integrated into the ring and accented with a porthole at the six o’clock position, and the Lundis Bleus molecule motif above completes a really effective layout.

The talent, attention to detail and sub-zero cool for which this small Swiss artisanal brand is quickly gaining a zen-like following is emphatically illustrated with the design and execution of its fabulous two part case. 11mm high, the Essentielles has a bowl-like profile with inclining curvature, and the crown is similarly styled, and because the lugs are part of the caseback and not in contact with the body itself, it’s almost flying saucer-esque as it seems to hover in a magnetic field without ever touching the lugs. Underneath, the Lundis Bleus motif is outlined above a red mineral glass through which the Sellita SW-300-01 Premium automatic movement can be seen.

Setting the piece off to perfection is the eggshell calfskin suede strap whose soft natural texture provides superb comfort, and which has a cool scarlet suede lining hiding underneath. It is secured with a brushed steel pin buckle,

For those who love a watch that’s exclusive, individual and extraordinarily good looking, the Lundis Bleus Essentielles 1120-08 is hand finished goodness.
