The Cyrus Genève Klepcys GMT Royal Purple brings a fresh aesthetic to the Klepcys GMT Retrograde series, enhancing functionality with an eye-catching design rooted in Cyrus’s Swiss watchmaking expertise. This limited-production model introduces rich purple tones in a meticulously engineered piece designed for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a watch that merges practicality with luxury.
Introduction to the Royal Purple
Distinctively styled, the Klepcys GMT Royal Purple expands on the Klepcys line’s tradition of bold design and Swiss precision. It uses the brand’s unique cushion-shaped case with 26 separate components made from grade 5 titanium, giving the watch both durability and a refined look. The case measures 42 mm in diameter and 13.9 mm in thickness, is water-resistant to 10 ATM, and incorporates twin functional crowns with grey rubber rings. The crown at 3 o’clock sets both the home and local times, while the pusher crown at 9 o’clock easily adjusts the local hour hand in one-hour increments, making it a highly functional GMT timepiece.
A Multi-Dimensional Dial in Striking Purple
The dial of the Klepcys GMT Royal Purple is an openworked, three-dimensional display, dominated by the vibrant purple of its upper bridge achieved through ALD coating. Anthracite accents and luminescent Arabic numerals enhance readability, adding depth to the design. A 24-hour retrograde GMT display occupies the dial’s left side, while a small seconds sub-dial positioned at 6 o’clock is marked by Cyrus’s helix symbol in purple. This layered and visually compelling dial layout is both functional and aesthetically engaging, suited to both collectors and newcomers to the brand.
Driven by the CYR708 Movement
Powering the Klepcys GMT Royal Purple is Cyrus’s in-house caliber CYR708, developed with the expertise of Jean-François Mojon. This automatic movement operates at 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) and offers a robust 55-hour power reserve. The movement’s decorative finishes, including NAC-treated bridges with sunray and microbeaded finishes, are visible through the sapphire caseback, which also showcases an engraved purple oscillating mass bearing the motto “The Conquest of Innovation.”
Versatile Strap Options
Available with three strap options, the Klepcys GMT Royal Purple can be paired with a grey Cordura strap featuring purple stitching, a luxurious royal purple alligator leather strap, or a durable titanium bracelet. Each strap complements the watch’s bold color scheme while offering comfort and versatility to the wearer.
