Behrens Apolar x Producer Michael
We love to bring you something a little different, and the Behrens Apolar certainly fills that brief.
The Chinese watch brand consistently offers a unique way of telling the time, and in the case of this Apolar, of the moon phase too.
The striking display, visible from various angles underneath a large domed sapphire crystal, features a 24-hour indicator by means of a rotating globe, a 28-day moon phase display, a seconds hand, and two rotating discs to display the hours and minutes.
The base of the dial is made from crystallised titanium which has a textured appearance, despite being smooth and catches the light in interesting ways.
It adds to a relatively monochrome design which is punctuated with a rainbow of colours coming from the moon’s orbiting ring, paired with a bright red crown. The addition of colours gives a nod to the watch’s collaboration with British musician and YouTuber, Producer Michael, who is known for his love of luxury goods and bright designs.
The 42mm steel case has a relatively slim bezel to allow the wearer to fully appreciate the dial. Through an exhibition case back, you can view the Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement. Behrens cleverly combined the reliable Swiss-made movement with their own mechanical module, offering both value for money and a unique concept. This combination led to the Apolar model being nominated for “Best Calendar and Astronomy” at the GPHG awards in 2020.
The Apolar brings a small piece of the universe onto your wrist and visually celebrates the relationship between the Earth and the moon.
