Switzerland based BYRNE Watch presents the new GyroDial ZERO Pink Gold model and its limited edition set with diamonds. Unveiled on the occasion of Geneva Watch Days 2023, these new creations encapsulate the spirit of the brand’s motto: One watch, Four faces.
Introduced in 2022, the BYRNE Watch GyroDial boasts a world-premiere complication offering rotating indices function. True to this unique original watch concept, the new GyroDial ZERO Pink Gold watch changes its dial every day, at midnight or noon, as the four cardinal indexes at 3, 6, 9 and 12 o’clock pivot in a flash to reveal a different face.
Just like the recently released GyroDial ZERO watch with an exposed movement construction, the new models house a completely redesigned Caliber 5555. Its patented animation complication is the culmination of three years of research and development in Fleurier in the Swiss Jura Mountains. This hand-finished movement presents a sleek and contemporary aesthetic.
Visible through the sapphire crystal glass on the front side, the Gyro dial ZERO movement becomes the dial of the watch. Gleaming in multiple variations of gray, the calibre offers a compelling contrast with the rose gold of the case and the pivoting cardinal indexes.
With its bridges, screws, plate, pivoting cuboids treated with 5N rose gold, the Gyro Dial ZERO Pink Gold opens the ideal of beauty to interpretation and gives the wearer a full, rich view of a magnificent mechanism.
The weight of 18K the rose gold case is compensated with a titanium caseback to reduce overall heft. Weighing in at just 60 grams, the ZERO Pink Gold’s two-tone look reinforces alluring contrasts and makes the lightness of the watch.
The movement’s industrial ‘openwork’ message finds itself not only perfectly complemented but also amplified with rose gold. The four cuboids, the center piece of the complication, are made of 5N rose gold, as are the hands.
The faces of the cardinal indexes will show Roman numerals, Arabic numerals, no numerals, or, in the ‘Sport’ mode, display a favorite jersey number – all enhanced with Super-LumiNova®.
This new pink gold version comes with a black “ballistic grained” rubber strap with – a first for Byrne Watch – a folding clasp.
Byrne Watch also presents a pink gold diamond-set version of GyroDial ZERO in a limited edition of only 10 pieces.
In this model, the four faces of the cardinal indices on the rose gold watch in turn show sides set with forty black diamonds in a triangular motif, with forty white diamonds in a triangular motif, with ‘Sport’ numerals, and one side with no numerals or symbols – ‘Ghost’ mode.
