Vigia
The porthole, reimagined for the wrist.
Vigia is Portuguese for the porthole of a ship, and the case wears its origin plainly: a softly rounded octagon framed by two steel "ears" at three and nine, like the hinge and clasp of a cabin window. It's the sports watch for the yacht club rather than the dive boat — thin, bright, and finished to be looked at.
The dial carries horizontal embossed ridges that run edge to edge, so the colour shifts in bands as the light moves. Applied baton markers and faceted baton hands are filled with lume; a framed date sits at three. The case is a long, flat sweep of brushed steel with a polished bevel running the full outline of the bezel, and the bracelet continues the same brushed-and-polished rhythm link by link to the clasp.
What makes Vigia unusual at 43.3 mm is how thin it is. The case measures just 9.3 mm, because inside is the Miyota 9015 — the Japanese ultra-thin automatic with a 28,800 vph high beat, hand-winding, hacking seconds and a 42-hour power reserve. Turn the watch over and a sapphire exhibition back shows the movement at work. A screw-down crown gives it 100 m of water resistance, so it's as happy in the sea as on deck.
Dial Colours
- White — the cleanest and most versatile
- Turquesa — bright turquoise, the colour of shallow water over sand
- Black — the formal one, strongest lume contrast at night
- Brown — warm tobacco brown with depth; the most unusual of the four
