Have you ever thought that retro and futuristic can be perfectly combined on the same watch? The “Plasma Purple” watch is such an eye-catching piece. Its purple matte paint surface is not only low-key and restrained, but also stands out among many watches, like a precious gem. Wondering how it achieves this unique effect? Come and see the story behind this watch!

“Plasma Purple” is both retro and futuristic

In the watch industry, “retro” and “futurism” are often two opposite styles. The former pursues the imprint of history and the precipitation of time, while the latter focuses on the progress of science and technology and the imagination of the future. Although the two seem difficult to reconcile, they are wonderfully blended together on the ‘Plasma Purple’ watch. The case of this watch is made of fine steel with a diameter of 40×40 mm. The design is not lost in roundness, but it also looks strong but soft. It is a work that is very in line with modern aesthetics.

What catches our attention the most is the purple paint. Different from the glossy finish of most watches on the market, the dial of “Plasma Purple” uses a matte purple paste surface. The entire dial looks low-key and restrained, like a polished gemstone that is extremely pure. The reason why such a perfect effect can be achieved is due to a unique process.

We all know that spray painting is a technical job, especially for precision crafts such as watches. If you are not careful, you may cause paint sagging, bubbles and other problems. These are irreparable and can only be remade. In the “Plasma Purple” production line, all manual spraying is performed in a dust-free clean room. There are not only strict temperature and humidity controls here, but also special equipment to filter impurities in the air to ensure that each layer of paint is pure and flawless.

In 2025, the “Plasma Purple” watch will appear in front of everyone with a new look together with “Lime Green”. These two large calendar chronograph watches from the 1970s are inspired by the virtual world. In this space, we can manipulate time and color at will, which is precisely the most difficult thing to do in the real world.

The movement configuration is not inferior to the appearance

The birth of two new watches will inject new vitality into the original single big calendar chronograph watch of the 1970s, and their most attractive feature is not only the color, but also the new design. The two new watches still use the symmetrical dial layout of the large calendar chronograph watch, but there are obvious changes in the details. The center of the dial of the new watch is a 30-minute counter and small seconds dial, while the side is a 12-hour counter and a large calendar display. Because the movement power display is cleverly embedded in the small seconds dial, the entire dial looks cleaner and neater.

As a limited-edition watch, the market positioning of “Plasma Purple” is naturally quite high-end. The user group it targets is those who have extremely high requirements for the quality of life and are willing to pay for it. In this regard, the “Plasma Purple” watch has been quite successful. It not only has an attractive enough appearance, but also has excellent internal configuration.

In terms of movement, the big calendar chronograph watch from the 1970s is equipped with Glashütte’s original 3702 self-winding movement, which has flyback chronograph and stop-second functions, and a power reserve of about 70 hours. Such performance is not considered weak among today’s mechanical watches.

It is important to mention that the hand-made dial is where this watch best reflects the integrity and independence of the brand’s watchmaking craftsmanship. In today’s watch industry, there are only a handful of brands that can do this. Even those luxury brands often outsource this technology to other workshops.

Color is the biggest feature of big calendar chronograph watches from the 1970s

In 2023, this watch also launched a mint green limited edition, which was enthusiastically sought after. This may also confirm that people’s aesthetics of watches are changing. In this fast-paced era, people are increasingly yearning for items that can represent individuality and taste. Those cookie-cutter, featureless products have long been unable to impress consumers. Watches with higher color saturation seem to have some kind of magic power. They can attract attention and attract wearers who love life and themselves.

This was well reflected in the big calendar chronograph watches of the 1970s. This watch launches a limited edition special edition every year, and color is its biggest feature. Perhaps we can see more fantastic colors appear on this classic work in the future, and we look forward to it bringing us more surprises.

Conclusion

In short, the “Plasma Purple” watch is not only eye-catching in appearance, but the internal movement configuration is also excellent. It is a perfect combination of retro and future.
