This is the first time that HYT has used a hand guilloché dial for any of their watches since their foundation in 2012. The reimagined HYT T1 Series brings a more refined approach to fluid timekeeping with its compact 45.3 mm Grade 5 Titanium case diameter and streamlined profile. This latest iteration emphasizes ergonomic design for superior wrist comfort while introducing a significant aesthetic departure with a fully enclosed dial that conceals the bellows.
Distinguished by a light blue hand guilloché dial that replaces the satin-brushed finishing or circular satin treatment of previous models, the new dial showcases a carefully curated fluid color in black-tinted liquid. A practical 72-hour power reserve indicator occupies the space between 2 and 3 o'clock on the solid dial face.
The signature HYT time display system remains intact—a 12-hour calibrated mechanism combining liquid-based hour indication via the glass capillary that traces the outer perimeter from 6 to 6 o'clock, paired with a traditional central hand for minutes that sweeps across an inner track. The colored liquid gradually fills the capillary to mark the passing hours against the flange scale, executing a dramatic retrograde return once it reaches the 6 o'clock position on the right side. Arabic numerals mark the minutes on a dedicated dial sector for precise time reading.
A standout innovation is the integrated strap system that eliminates traditional lugs. This ingenious design allows wearers to effortlessly switch between nylon and rubber options in seconds, with straps connecting directly to the case architecture. The natural flow from case to wrist ensures exceptional comfort and wearability. A thoughtfully positioned push-button on the case's back middle enables secure strap changes while preventing accidental release. The titanium pin buckle combines elegance with security. The HYT T1 Titanium Guilloché is delivered on a blue alligator strap and accompanied by an additional rubber strap in your color of choice.
The transparent case back, secured by screws and protected by anti-reflective sapphire crystal, offers an unobstructed view of the manual-wound calibre 501-CM. This 352-part movement, featuring 41 jewels, prominently displays the twin bellows mechanisms that control fluid movement throughout the system.
On the wrist, this new T1 delivers unprecedented comfort compared to all previous HYT models before the brand was relaunched. The watch is available in a limited edition of 8 pieces.
