Experience the Thrill of Futuristic Sporty Chic with the Nuun Origen Anti-Shock Crew
From the heart of Bahrain, Nuun Official is making waves in the world of horology with an exciting new addition to their popular Origen timepiece collection. Named the Anti-Shock Crew, the line radiates a contemporary sporting charm, complete with a palate of colors complementing the summer mood. The Anti-Shock Crew Drift, a standout model in the new series, sports a vibrant blue and white dial, offset with an imposing orange minute hand for a pop of color. The ‘Origen’ concept hosts a myriad of designs inspired by the Gerald Genta-crafted Patek Philippe Nautilus uitmensching the 1970s, with a contemporary twist provided by Nuun Official’s high endurance materials. Crafted predominantly from carbon in its pure black form, the Anti-Shock Crew Drift ensures durability and precision with an additional benefit of color stability. Coming in an approachable size, the timepiece has a case of 40.5mm width, and is nearly 11mm thick, with roughly a lug-to-lug length of 47mm. The case also features a flat AR-coated sapphire crystal and boasts a water resistance rating of 100 meters. But what really puts the ‘shock’ in the Anti-Shock Crew? The precise answer isn’t crystal clear. However, the inclusion of a quartz—as opposed to mechanical—movement sets the foundation as quartz components are typically less sensitive to shock and harsh vibrations. While strong vibrations can affect analog hands, the Anti-Shock Crew might have a secret weapon: the Japanese Miyota caliber 2035 quartz time-only movement could be held firmly by a shock-resistant retainer ring. Rest assured, Nuun Official must have something special up its sleeve for the durability element, as indicated by the ‘Anti-Shock’ graphic elegantly placed on the case back. Beyond the impressive mechanics, the Anti-Shock Crew brings novelty in its dial design which uses a two-piece layered construction. Adding a touch of luminance with a unique design, these watches are not only original-looking but also legible. From the ‘full-length’ minute hand to the distinctive hour markers, the Anti-Shock Crew watches seamlessly blend the unconventional with the familiar, resulting in an artistic masterpiece that is as resilient as it is stylish.
