The colour worn by nobility was specifically Tyrian purple. It is this association with royalty that inspired our timepiece’s evocative sobriquet, wrote by Wei Koh, Founder of Revolution Watch, “Color has always held a special fascination for me, particularly in the way the subtle control and modulation of hue is capable of extraordinary expression.”

Our “Purple Reign” measures 7.8mm in thickness, a result of it being driven by the brand’s ultra-thin PF703 micro-rotor caliber that’s housed in a 40mm stainless steel case.

The signature grain d’orge guilloché on the dial is so small that it turns invisible in certain light. This pattern is hand-crafted into each dial.
