This still-fresh summer season of 2021 watch from Swiss SevenFriday is each impressed by a cocktail and considered one of its greatest P1C fashions to date. I say that as a result of it’s simple to cross over the truth that the P1C/04 “Caipi” watch is the primary era of this mannequin household to have a sapphire crystal. That’s not a giant deal for many round-cased watches, however many SevenFriday watches, such because the P1C assortment, have cushion-shaped (versus spherical) crystals over the dials. A non-circular piece of machined sapphire crystal is rather more costly than a spherical half (that apparently could be shaped on comparatively easy lathes). Sapphire crystals are extra scratch resistant (by far) than the mineral crystals they exchange. My perception is that, transferring ahead, SevenFriday will make sapphire crystals commonplace on an increasing number of watches. Remember the model’s still-reasonable value level.
The white watch with hints of lime-green tones is shiny and sparkly — and enjoyable to put on. I’ll admit that the very first thing I assumed when placing on the crisp, white watch was, “How lengthy till this begins to get soiled?” The excellent news is that my worry actually solely pertains to the white leather-based strap, because the white ceramic case isn’t going to want something however a wipe every so often. At instances, I really feel just like the watch is just too shiny — a bit like staring into the solar. It’s nonetheless legible and really a lot a SevenFriday, with success in providing near-blinding visible draw. I’d have referred to as it the SevenFriday Supernova.
Alas, the extra party-time inspiration for the P1C/04 watch is the favored and refreshing cocktail often known as the Caipirinha. The nationwide drink of Brazil is a candy and bitter affair that, fortunately, tends to be combined extra on the sugary facet in a glass crammed with as many limes as ice.
Whereas many (many) individuals in the course of the pandemic would have preferred to get pleasure from a Caipirinha truly in Brazil, maybe this celebratory watch supposed to remind you of sunshine clothes on scorching nights in heat cities will probably be virtually as satisfying. The cushion-shaped watch measures 47.6 x 47mm, and the 100-meter water resistant development is comprised of metal and white ceramic. Over the dial is a sapphire crystal and contained in the case is a built-in NFC (close to area communication) chip. This accent lets you register your watch, in addition to use it to determine actual vs. duplicate watches (sure, there are lots of pretend SevenFriday watches on the market).
The rear of the watch consists of helpful product technical specs printed in a approach that seems graphically designed. This explicit model of the P1C watch has a lime slice motif in full shade that’s particular to the P1C/04 Caipi version watch. Contained in the watch is a Japanese-made Miyota caliber 82S7 automated motion. It operates at 3Hz with 40 hours of energy reserve with discs getting used for the hour and minute palms, in addition to for the eccentric subsidiary seconds and synchronized 24-hour shows. SevenFriday could be very open about the truth that although their watches are designed in Switzerland (their headquarters is in Zurich), the model’s inexpensive costs are contingent on working with Japanese and Chinese language suppliers. There’s nothing incorrect with that, and SevenFriday is merely open about the identical practices that many different Swiss manufacturers want to “preserve extra discreet.”
I actually just like the design of the white leather-based strap, in addition to the sewn-on sample segments. That stated, the strap will possible get soiled shortly, and wearers would possibly wish to take into consideration different strap choices which may make sense. I ponder how it might look on a NATO-style strap toned to match the colour of the Caipirinha the timepiece is impressed by? The dial’s silvery segments are stated to be impressed by the cachaça, and the greenish palms and a few hour markers (which is the lume shade) match the colour of the limes bathing within the drink. Carrying this beautiful watch whereas imbibing evokes the refreshing sensations of summer season. Value for the SevenFriday P1C/04 Caipi watch is $1,550 USD.
