Whoever said digital watches were for nerds never laid their eyes on the original 1976 Casquette, a watch that oozed all kinds of futuristism. Now, the luxury watch brand has reinterpreted the original for the 21st century, and it’s murdered-out cool. The case is constructed with ceramic and grade 5 titanium for both toughness and lightness. The bracelet is made out of ceramic with a black coating that matches the case. The time is displayed via a red tubular LED in-house quartz readout set deep in the side of the watch case. It even has a second time zone, a-la-GMT. This is one digital watch we’d jump all over without thinking twice.
