The Twelve 36 Alta Gold. A timepiece that came about when customers requested a ‘classic’ Twelve 36 – with the rose gold bezel of The Twelve Halo. After a little experimentation and a few adjustments, The Twelve 36 Alta Gold was born. A timepiece that might be the most beautiful Twelve yet.
The polished rose gold bezel delivers a mesmerising contrast with the pared-down aesthetic of The Twelve. And thanks to the bezel’s multi-angled design, it plays with the light beautifully, adding a feeling of luxury that elevates every element of the watch.
The Twelve 36 Alta Gold boasts the same textured dial as the original Twelve, but unlike its big brother, has no date window – here, clarity and space are all: witness the slimmer indexes that sit perfectly on the shimmering dial. And because we believe practicality and sophistication are two sides of the same coin, the handset is deep-filled with lume for timekeeping after-dark. The applied ‘twin-flags’ logo adds further depth.
At 36mm, the case is aligned with current size trends, which means it’ll suit both male and female wrists. As with other watches in The Twelve series, it’s been brushed, polished and sandblasted. Turn it over and a sapphire crystal, seated in the 12-sided case back, displays the elaboré-finished rotor of the Sellita SW200-1 movement.
Finally, the elegant Twelve bracelet, whose highly finished, single-link design features a pleasing taper and a hidden butterfly clasp for easy removal. If you want to change your watch’s character, The Twelve 36 Alta Gold is also available on The Twelve rubber strap. Both are fitted with CW’s quick-release system to make swapping effortless
Sellita SW200-1 Automatic
Sellita SW200-1 Automatic
An update on the classic Sellita SW200, this Swiss-made self-winding movement is known for its accuracy and reliability.
The 26-jewel movement boasts a date wheel, a 4Hz frequency (equating to a smooth eight ticks per second) and a 38-hour power reserve. It also has an in-built anti-shock system to maintain accuracy when faced with any sudden jolts.
Brace with impact
The Twelve’s bracelet is built from single links to deliver a taper that goes from 22mm to 17mm, while the satinised finish comes courtesy of a water-grinding process. The bracelet closes with a butterfly clasp – fitted with a micro-adjustment mechanism. This allows the wearer to adjust the length by up to 1.5mm per side – and 3mm in total.
This isn’t a men’s watch or a women’s watch – it’s just a watch
Only gold will do
The solid 18-carat rose-gold bezel gives the watch its name. Every angle has been fully polished, playing the light with every movement, and providing a glistening contrast to the dial.
Rear window
There are few greater thrills in horology than the sight of mechanical movement at work. Here, the sapphire caseback lets you enjoy the decorated rotor of the Sellita SW200-1 movement.
Details first – and last
The watch’s three-dimensional pyramid pattern compliments the applied twin-flags of the CW logo and catches the light endlessly as your wrist moves.
