The Vessel's design brief was to create an integrated-bracelet sports watch with a futuristic character from 2075, not 1975, with a faceted glass as the definitive design element.
The watch features a unique faceted sapphire crystal construction where internal facets mirror external ones, ensuring dial clarity from all viewing angles.
The case is an angular, faceted take on a cushion shape, with a wide, tapered bracelet and a recessed brushed band that follows the case angles.
The dial is minimalist, featuring polished luminous hands, an aqua-toned seconds hand as the sole color contrast, and no date or applied markers.
The Sellita SW300-1 movement is partially covered by a 360-degree rotor finished in the same aqua tone as the seconds hand.
The integrated bracelet includes a comfort release for micro-adjustment and a quick-release system.
