UN Blue Watch

UN Blue

Un Blue is a wristwatch designed around the theme of peace. The case is triangular, using the stability of the triangle as a symbol. The case and the glass are tilted by 5.5 degrees, so the dial faces the line of sight and the time can be read quickly. A curved sapphire glass cover keeps the dial clear and protects it. The wristwatch is water resistant to 50 metres. The silicone strap is made from recycled plastic composite waste from military equipment. A detachable leather strap with a reflective coating is also offered.

UN Blue Watch by Xuan ying Jiang has been identified as a creative example of industrial design by the A' Design Award & Competition. UN Blue Watch earned the Silver A' Design Award in Watch Design in 2023. The A' Watch Design Award is a juried, academic and highly prestigious design prize that rewards outstanding design of chronographs, dive watches, dress watches, quartz watches, automatic watches, smartwatches, luxury watches, sports watches and more.
