Bastian Antoni Turbulent watches

The Bastian Antoni Turbulent is the debut watch of Bastian Antoni, the brand founded by Peter Bastian and Robert Antoni, which announced it in a press release in November 2018. The brand says the name reflects the case design, which it calls one of a kind.

Every Turbulent uses the same 45 mm case in hand-brushed 316L stainless steel, with a large double-domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on top and a see-through caseback below. Inside is a Swiss automatic movement, the Sellita SW200-1 in its Prémium Open Balance version with 26 jewels, and the dial is cut open to show the balance at work. Around the opening, the dial has a sun-ray finish.

The versions are told apart by case finish and colour. The Steel / Black and Steel / Brown are the standard watches in brushed steel, supplied on leather straps with a deployant buckle. The Black Hour is the full black version, and the Rose / Black and Rose / Brown are the two rose-gold-coloured versions. Bastian Antoni presented the Black Hour and the two rose versions as limited introductory editions, without giving a run size.
