TYPE S4 - CELESTIAL EDITION

$1,050.00 USD

Like a meteorite, a one-of-a-kind gift from space, we present to you the TYPE S4 “CELESTIAL EDITION”. A meteorite soaring through the dark blue sky is brought to life in this edition with a deep blue bezel juxtaposed with rose gold PVD-coated 120-click unidirectional bezel, leaving this watch with an elegant touch and finish that would look great on any wrist.

The meteorite dial with applied rose gold coloured Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9 hour markers is a sight to behold and finished off with the iconic Mercedes hour hands and lollipop second hand. Just like a meteorite itself soaring endlessly through space, the team took a venturesome journey in making this watch come to life and we agree that this visitor from space was worth the expedition.

4.56-BILLION-YEAR EXPERIENCE
A GIFT OF THE GALAXY, A SILVER LINING IN THE DARK

The story of the meteorite is a remarkable one, starting around 4 billion years ago when it made its descent to Earth from outer space, it carries with it remnants from the earliest days of our solar system. Meteorite is the material that makes this watch face so extraordinary.

Meteorite is so rare it’s otherworldly. This one-of-a-kind material is prized by collectors and scientists alike and is the hero of the TYPE S4 “CELESTIAL EDITION”.

“DISCOVERY OUR INSPIRATION”

Red is one of the strongest colors, it’s energy, it has a power with the eye. The highlight of crimson red on anthracite grey creates ambiences that encourage us to focus, dwell time on the present, a moment, this second. Just like the red safelight that illuminates the darkroom, stabilizes the image print process.

1,650 °C TRANSFORMATION

FEAR HAS NO PLACE FOR THE BRAVE

The epic course of a meteorite takes billions of years, sheer chance pulling it into our own Earth's orbit. Once in the atmosphere, friction and pressure heats it up, reaching temperatures as high as 1,650º C. It then becomes a meteor, forms a shooting star and crystallizes; like the Gibeon meteorite applied on the dial of TYPE S4.

The distinctive “Widmanstatten” crystalline pattern is so rare it is impossible to recreate as it occurs when the meteorite is travelling through the atmosphere and into the earth's floor. 

RED IS ONE OF
THE STRONGEST COLORS

FROM ACROSS THE SOLAR SYSTEM

ASTONISHING BRIGHT FLARE

The meteor sweeping through the milky-way is symbolised in our blue ceramic bezel. It moves at an elegant pace with a glowing orange ruddy passage, the gear-tooth boasts a reddish rose gold PVD streak and creates “sparks” on the crown, markers and hands.
