The conceptual Hamilton Oasis watch has been designed by Junwoo Kim as a timepiece that takes both real time and digital time into account to keep wearers connected.
The watch is constructed with sturdy metal case that holds the movement within and allows the hands to stand out for the wearer to easily read. The watch is thus capable of displaying both real time and Metaverse time, and boasts a switch on the side for shifting between the two.
The conceptual Hamilton Oasis watch is imagined with a range of different bands to give it a touch of functional style. The watch puts its skeletonized dial in the spotlight to give it style, while also showing its somewhat hidden functionality in plain sight.
