The passion for game is the strongest of all passions. A gamble is a game for money or any other kind of material interests, when your profit mainly depends on a mere chance of on “blind” fortune. Azimuth company has produced the SP1 Roulette watch for passionate gambling lovers. The model is a part of the “SP-1 Mecanique” collection. All collection's watches are characterized with nontraditional design, executed within the framework of futuristic aesthetics, and complicated functionality.
While designing the SP1 Roulette model, Azimuth company's designers abstracted away from the original dials' elaboration, accenting their attention on principally new shapes and constructions. The model can legally be called a roulette in miniature. The watch's volumetric dial imitates the roulette wheel and there's the company's logo in the “Zero” sector instead of the zero. The crown, driving the watch movement and correcting time is executed in the form of a die. Apart from its main function, the crown also launches the ball on the hand, that stops at a random cell after multiple fast revolutions. Every time the watch movement is launched, gambling lovers will be able to feel the same adrenaline rush, as while playing without risking to loose their money. It's not a secret, that every player, placing his bet on black or red, doesn't loose his hope to win on green.
The “gambling” watch is not a new dawn in watchmaking. Nowadays many watch brands produce “gambling” timepieces. The SP1 Roulette watch's case is executed with a deepening. This is exactly what gives the watch a striking similarity to the original. In the middle of a real roulette there's a decorative spire, also called a turret. The watch has the hour and minute hands instead of it, and the turnstile, repeating the original one, fulfills the function of the seconds hand and constantly revolves.
The SP1 Roulette watch is driven by the modified and decorated ETA 2842 movement. The model's case is made of stainless steel, the dial is covered with a sapphire crystal. You can see the balance junction and the «BEAT THE CASINO» encryption through the special aperture on the watch's case back. The model is water resistant up to 50 metres.
The watch is executed in special edition of just 500 pieces.
