Codex Identity Chrono Moonphase

Hmm. I’m struggling with this one a bit.

Must try and find something positive to say ..

Ok ..

1. Codex certainly aren’t afraid to make some bold / ‘interesting’ watches
2. If you played this watch in Scrabble you’d clean up!
3. ??
4. Profit.

Yeah, that doesn’t quite cut it, does it?

How about some facts instead?

This is a 44mm 18kt rose gold piece.

It has a sapphire crystal, a sapphire display back and is water resistant to 50 meters.

Movement is the Swiss automatic ETA caliber Valjoux 7751 with chronograph and moonphase complication.

I’m sure this has a certain demographic who’ll be falling over themselves to grab one.

Just not for me I’m afraid.

Codex Identity Venus

There are watches where subtly and understatement are key .. and then there’s the Codex Identity Venus.

I’ll give you some written details, but there’s so much going on with this watch that looking at the pictures is really the only way to take it all in.

Two limited edition versions are available – the Master (100 pieces) and Prestige (75 pieces).

The 44mm case is in 18Kt Rose Gold.

The watch has an AR-coated sapphire crystal, a sapphire display back, and is water resistant to 50 meters. The Prestige version features screwed-in lateral bumpers with 431(!) diamonds.

Movement is the old/new Swiss-made manual-wind NOS Venus caliber 203 (circa 1950 to 1960).

It has 11 jewels, 18,000 vph and a power reserve of 38 hours.

Functions are hours and minutes in the center, triple calendar (day, date, and month) with small seconds-hand and moon phase at 6 o‘clock.

The dial is black, laser cut skeleton with faceted rose gold-plated hands with Superluminova inserts.

What do you think?

Masterpiece or overdone?

Stand by for a long long list of technical details.

Before we get to those though, some basic details first:  there are three versions of this 44mm watch available - stainless steel, 18-carat rose-gold with a brown dial and alligator leather strap, or a black PVD-coated case set with seven diamonds.

Each runs the Valjoux 7750 CCL caliber offering a chronograph, a date with central hand and a moonphase indicator at 3 o’clock.

Alright, basics out the way, on to the tech specs! (after the break ..).
