Cubitus 5822P-001: a platinum timepiece that redefines haute horology

by Byron Lukas

When Cubitus decided to shoot for the stars, they didn’t just build a watch; they engineered a celestial marvel. The 5822P-001 is less a wristwatch and more a cosmic artefact. Crafted from platinum and powered by a 22K gold rotor, it turns timekeeping into an art form.

A movement from another galaxy

At the heart of this timepiece is the revolutionary Calibre 240 PS CI J LU. Just 4.76 mm thin, this ultra-slim self-winding movement is packed with 353 components and boasts six patents pending. You get a double aperture grand date at 12 o’clock , a hand-indicated day, instantaneous moon phase jumps, and small seconds, a full cosmic calendar in one incredibly engineered package.

Blue dial, white gold flair

The dial? A shimmering sunburst blue, adorned with horizontally embossed textures, white gold baton hour markers, and luminous hands for easy reading, day or night. A baguette-cut diamond at 6 o’clock adds a flicker of starlight, just in case the rest wasn’t luxe enough.

Platinum case, slim profile

Sized at 45mm, the platinum case has a two-part construction with polished and satin finishes. Surprisingly slim at 9.6mm, a powerful look! Turn it over and you’re greeted by a sapphire crystal case back showcasing the 22K gold mini-rotor with a horizontal motif, pure mechanical poetry.

Strap in for style

It comes with a navy-blue composite strap, finished with cream contrast stitching and a platinum Cubitus fold-over clasp. Understated but confident, like a luxury suit with sneakers.

Not for the pool

With 30m water resistance, it’s not meant for underwater adventures. But let’s be honest, no one’s diving in diamonds.

Final verdict

If a platinum spaceship and a Swiss chronograph had a baby, this would be it. Currently, it’s POA and available at Sandton City Shopping Centre.
