Introducing the CODE41 T360 Tourbillon
The T360 stands out due to its price point at just under USD 10,000, offering excellent value as a Swiss tourbillon wristwatch. Although it’s not entirely unmatched, the T360 faces only a handful of competitors from Swiss brands, which sets it apart from the broader watchmaking industry.
Notably, the brand makes it clear that the movement is 100% Swiss-made, designed by specialist BCP Tourbillons, and assembled by another specialist using locally sourced parts. As BCP Tourbillon works with a number of brands, the base movement of the T360 is tried and tested, something that CODE41 is pleased about. This allows the movement to be regulated to +/-5 seconds a day — an unusual feat for a tourbillon wristwatch.
With the T360, the brand has introduced a new case that is even more rugged than the signature NativeDNA. Called Stratom, the new case is also cushion-shaped and 42mm wide like the standard case, but it features an angular bezel and four large screws at the corners. Unlike the movement, the case and other external parts like the crystal and strap are made by Chinese suppliers, so the brand estimates that about 90% of the watch is made in Switzerland. With the two case options available, CODE41 has gone a step further and allowed for more personalization, including strap options, as well as a choice of movement colors, which in extreme cases can include a rainbow of colors on the bridges.
In addition to its relatively affordable price, the T360 Tourbillon is also distinguished by its attention to detail, which is reflected in the openworked movement with an original, modern and sporty bridge design. The details of the movement are also nicely done, with a free-sprung balance and clean finishing of all components.
