TRES – harmonising accurate time with contemporary design
As the inventor of the modern single-handed watch, BOTTA Design understands the importance of achieving balance between functionality and form. The German, boutique watchmaking company has been designing award-winning watches since its foundation 1986. Regardless of the number of hands on a BOTTA timepiece, each BOTTA watch is distinguished by three characteristics:
- true innovation driving their unique case and dial designs
- the adoption of contemporary production techniques for perfect finishes
- first-class components and top workmanship in accordance with the highest level of industry standards
The TRES collection is available with mechanic or Quartz movements, in light and dark dial variants set into either steel or black PVD cases. The Quartz collection also comes in 2 case sizes 44mm and 40mm, so there is bound to be a model to suit all wrist sizes and budgets.
The 40mm TRES Titanium Quartz collection features elegant tone-in-tone dial designs in either light or dark shades plus the enhancement of a feather light Titanium case. Like their mechanical brothers, the Quartz watches have three centred, slim hands and a fine minute scale around the outer dial to allow for accurate legibility.
This is a perfect everyday watch, presented in a brushed, 44mm titanium case with hidden lugs.
The cleverly concealed lugs are tucked into the underside of the case so the case sits effortlessly on the wrist in a minimalistic fashion – nothing distracts from the dial. However, in-line with BOTTA’s utilitarian philosophy, even this design element has a purpose. By carefully crafting the case with bevelled flanks to incorporate the lugs, several things are achieved:
- wrist movement is enhanced,
- air flow and circulation around the band/underside of the case is optimised for increased wearer comfort and
- space is optimised, allowing even fine wrists to look good in a slightly larger case (finally more options)
The double-domed sapphire crystal case top with its narrow Titanium top ring/bezel complements the elegant lines of the watch. The anti-reflective coating on both sides of the crystal provides significantly improved transparency and reduces the reflections on the watch glass. The Quartz collection has a closed case back and runs on the reliable, Swiss-made, RONDA 1062 movement.
The striking 40mm Titanium pearl white model is crisp and modern. Weighing only 32gr it is barely noticeable on the wrist – comfortable, good looking and contemporary with the benefit of non-stop battery power.
