Davosa Cupex 161.597.50: A 10.2 mm Automatic for €1,150
Davosa has introduced the Cupex Automatic, including black-dial reference 161.597.50 at €1,150 including VAT, with a 10.2 mm case and 100 m water resistance. The new collection puts a faceted fixed bezel and an integrated bracelet around a textured dial, with five references available at launch.
A compass rose in the case and dial
The Cupex name comes from the Latin cuspis, meaning a point. Davosa carries that idea into the bezel, where kite-shaped facets alternate between polished and satin-finished surfaces. Their geometry is drawn from the brand’s compass-rose emblem.
The same motif informs the Clous de Paris dial pattern. Small pyramid-shaped elements give the surface depth, while applied markers and hands carry Super-LumiNova BGW9. The date is positioned at 6 o’clock, below the central three-hand display.
Steel versions offer silver, blue or black dials under references 161.597.10, 161.597.40 and 161.597.50. Two additional references, 161.598.10 and 161.598.50, combine steel with gold-colored ion-plated details and use silver or black dials. Those two-tone models are priced at €1,200 including VAT.
A display back within the slim case
The DAV 3021 automatic is based on Sellita’s SW200-1. Its compass-rose rotor is visible through the screw-down exhibition back, while the movement provides a quick-set date and a stop-seconds function for setting the time. The integrated bracelet closes with a folding clasp released by a push button.
- Case: stainless steel, 40 mm wide and 45.6 mm long.
- Antireflective sapphire crystal and a fixed bezel.
- Movement frequency: 28,800 vibrations per hour; approximately 38 hours of reserve.
- Integrated bracelet connection: 23.8 mm.
Because the bracelet is integrated, the Cupex does not take standard straight-end straps. All five versions are available now.
