This Cvstos Re-Belle Moonphase watch is crafted in 5N 18-karat rose gold with an aventurine dial. While diamonds grace the case, the taupe strap and generous size make it a nice option for unisex watches with diamonds.
Swiss brand Cvstos is all about creating contemporary, bold, three-dimensional pieces that boast complications and grand aesthetics. Its newest collection, Re-Belle, underscores that. Designed for the person who wants to indulge in diamonds and gemstones, as well as the mysterious and beautiful function of the moon phase indication, the new Re-Belle is created to pay homage to women, but in all honesty, there are a few styles that are definitely unisiex. Additionally, we know a watch like this can attract many audiences. It combines technical sophistication with lavish personality. Best of all, it is a watch that offers exclusivity, as only a limited edition of bot the stainless steel versions and the 18-karat gold models will be made.
Tonneau-Shaped Cvstos Re-Belle Shines In Diamonds, Sapphires
The Cvstos Re-Belle Moonphase collection boasts steel or gold cases, and aventurine or mother of pearl dials.
Each Re-Belle watch is a bold tonneau shaped timepiece that is ergonomically curved for ultimate comfort. The three-dimensional design boasts a dial set down into the watch, whose case seems to be cradling and protecting it. The moonphase indication takes up the entire center of the dial and the etched and sculpted moon rotates around the center circle of the dial, visible via a lower disk in the top portion of the orb. In some versions, the center dial is outlined in diamonds or gemstones, while in others it is etched in gold, but the lower portion of the center orb is paved with diamonds.
This Cvstos Re-Belle Moonphase watch is crafted in stainless steel and set with a rainbow of sapphires, and an aventurine dial.
Dials are offered in either mother-of-pearl in shimmering white or in sparkling blue aventurine for a most opulent midnight appeal. All versions boast diamond markers. Even the discreet date aperture, located at 6:00 on the dial, suggests an interplay of time and, perhaps, a rendezvous. As if this wasn’t enough, because when are diamonds ever too much, Cvstos adorns the entire case of each piece with either diamonds or a rainbow of gemstones. The remarkable snow setting uses differently sized stones to pave the metal and allow only the stones to shine. Diamond versions are all top-quality diamonds, while the painter’s palette of colored gemstones uses a host of rich sapphires.
What’s Inside the Cvstos Re-Belle Moonphase Watches
The Cvstos Re-Belle is powered by the CVS 882 self-winding mechanical caliber that is also visible via a transparent sapphire case back. The movement offers 38 hours of power reserve. The 4Hz movement is also equipped with a quick-corrector for the date. Thanks to a screw-down jeweled crown, the watches are all water resistant to 100 meters. The finishing touch on each watch is an alligator strap in a color-coordinated hue, or a white rubber strap for “sporty” appeal is also available for the stainless steel model. Th thing about that sporty rubber strap is that it also has diamond-adorned links – moving it just a nudge over the top.
Cvstos offers a “sportier” rubber strap for its steel Re-Belle Moonphase watch. That strap also boasts diamonds.
