In the world of glamour and luxury, Century had already established themselves as extraordinary watchmakers. Having the honor of producing the first ever sapphire watches, Century built on that and is now considered one of the best in the production of timepieces with durable sapphire cases.

Sapphire is the second hardest substances next to diamond. Century’s exclusive process involves bonding the middle of the sapphire case to the sapphire crystal. This forms what Century calls as the ‘monolith’, a single unit, and it is further polished and cut with extreme precision according a watch’s design.

Featuring this exclusive technique is the newest watch from Century, an addition to the Prime Time Egos Chronograph GMT, and is aptly called ‘special summer’. This 12-sided, 42mm design is not an entirely new though, just a reincarnation of Century’s signature design that gives tribute to the hot and balmy summer and the magical nights it brings.

The sapphire case is framed by red gold. On the white dial, there are 3 sub-dials showing the seconds, minutes, and the hours. A date indicator is at the 3 o’clock position. The watch can be attached to the wrist using an exotic white alligator strap with red gold deployment clasps. The strap remarkably brings out this watch’s beauty and elegance even more, its white color acting as the perfect opposite compliment to the case’s red gold tint.

Century has once again gifted the world with an exquisite jewelry watch. Not only is this watch beautiful, with its durable, nearly-indestructible case, it could possibly stand the test of time.

CENTURY is rounding out its Prime Time Egos GMT Chronograph line with a new model in 18 ct. red gold, featuring a white dial and strap. This summer season design is sure to please men and women alike.

The CENTURY design team is revisiting one of their signature models in salute to balmy weather, the heady days and magic nights of summer.

The twelve-sided 42mm CENTURY sapphire case is fitted on a see-through back framed in 18 ct. red gold through which the watch movement may be observed. Providing both (COSC certified) chronograph and GMT functions, this design features a date aperture at 3 o’clock along with three sub-dials, the largest showing the seconds, the smaller two respectively the hour and the minutes. Connected to the case by 18 ct. red gold lugs, the white alligator strap with 18 ct. red gold deployment clasp provides a perfect aesthetic counterpoint to the dial.

Thanks to its sapphire body, the hardest substance after diamond, a CENTURY timepiece easily stands the test of time and retains its distinctive beauty day after day, year after year.

From this unique process come original and elegant shapes featuring countless facets.

This sparkling quartz timepiece of 18ct white gold links and brilliant- cut diamonds is the creation of artisans at Century Time Gems Ltd.

At the center of this jewelry watch is the 54-facet Century sapphire case (20mm), cut and polished by patient and precise hands. 

The white mother-of-pearl dial is adorned with twelve diamond hour markers.  Some 30 brilliant-cut diamonds cluster around the sapphire watchcase, a half-dozen of which are protected by a white gold moon.   Others are scattered among the rings of the bracelet bringing the total diamond count to 52, weighing 1.98ct.
