New Speak Marin Openworked Terracotta is a stunning dual time watch
The new piece features gorgeous orange tones among a semi-skeletonised dial
Quick Summary
Speake Marin has just unveiled the latest addition to its Openworked collection.
Dubbed the Dual Time Terracotta, the watch features offset sub-dials and a gorgeous orange textured dial.
In the fight to be considered one of the best watches on the market, there are any number of things a brand can do. Some look to offer exceptional value, with features which aren't commonly seen at the price point.
Then, you have watches which are just exquisite examples of top-notch watchmaking. That's exactly what we see here, with the new Speake Marin Dual Time Openworked Terracotta.
The latest addition to the brand's Openworked collection, this features a stunning orange-toned dial with beautiful texture. It's reminiscent – as you may have guessed from the name – of old terracotta, and looks brilliant.
The dial features centre-mounted hour and minute hands. That's paired with offset dials showcasing the seconds hand and the complications – users will find the dual time zone indicator at the 9 o'clock position, as well as a retrograde date around the small seconds dial.
All of that sits inside a beautifully polished case crafted from grade 5 titanium. Buyers will have a choice between 38mm or 42mm case sizes, which should offer something for everyone.
The watch sits an impressive 12.35mm thick, and is fitted with a white rubber strap. That's got a matching grade 5 titanium buckle, which should give this a really impressive lightness.
The in-house movement features a micro-rotor to aid with slimness. That's also crafted from Tungsten, which should also benefit the lightweight nature of the piece. It's a 4Hz movement, with a 52 hour power reserve.
Priced at CHF31,900 for the 38mm model and CHF32,400 for the 42mm model, this certainly isn't a cheap watch. Still, you get what you pay for, and here you get a really neat design from a small company. The micro-rotor movement and semi-skeletonised design is worth the cost of admission alone, but that terracotta finish is the cherry on the cake.
