The PhantomX Watch by Mitico Uses a Satellite Hour Display
References: telubo.kckb.me
The PhantomX is a mechanical watch by Mitico that uses a four-arm satellite wandering-hour display. The watch runs on a Miyota 9039 automatic movement and uses sculpted 3D star wheels to display the current hour. Only the active hour numeral appears in the center of the dial, while a 0-to-60 minute track provides the minute reading. A red triangular seconds hand moves across the dial, and Swiss Super-LumiNova illuminates the primary time display for low-light visibility.
The stainless steel tonneau case measures 50.64 millimeters wide, 43.32 millimeters tall, and 15 millimeters thick. Skeletonized side sections reduce visual bulk while maintaining the case structure. A crown positioned at 12 o’clock is paired with a double anti-reflective sapphire crystal and 5 ATM water resistance. The movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides a 36-hour power reserve. Mitico offers the watch in ten colorways with nylon and leather hybrid straps that use quick-release spring bars for tool-free changes.
