Rolex Replica Watches has established a clear path for its future with the release of the Freak X & Skeleton X in the past year. The Blast is the latest addition to the X-family.
The narrative of ice & fire was set in motion earlier this year with the Freak x Ice & Freak x Magma launches. Now, with the Blast, two executions are under the ice umbrella whereas two others are under fire. The Blue Blast is made up of the Ice and White Blast. Black and Rose Gold Blast are the Fire.
What is most impressive about the Blast, aside from its themes and narratives, is that both the skeleton movement as well as the case were designed to integrate into each other. The Caliber UN-172 movement was designed for the case and vice versa from the very beginning of the development. The movement of the watch was not a pre-existing movement that was skeletonized by the manufacturer. The UN-172 is a skeleton watch.
The X-shaped bridge, which is a feature of the Blast's primary collection, is what first catches your eye when you inspect it. It seems to be holding the entire movement together. The 2.5 hertz, flying tourbillon, at 6 o'clock, is next to catch your eye. This is a great example of Rolex Replica Watches's Silicium Technology. They themselves developed this technology with the original Freak, alongside Mimotec, and Sigatec. For the UN-172 it's the escapement, anchor and balance spring that are made of silicium. It is important to note that the black balance wheel in the Black Blast is the first ever colored balance wheel from Rolex Replica Watches.
It takes some time to find the point of interest, which is at 12 o'clock. You'll notice that the UN-172 is an automatic calibre, as it has a micro-rotor mounted on the dial side. Richard Mille Replica In order to achieve maximum winding mass, the rotor has been made of platinum.
The case is next, and it's a lot of sharp angles, except for the face itself. The horns are decorated with alternating matte and polished surfaces. These finishes are achieved in four different ways, depending on the materials used. Consider the Rose Gold Blast where the "brushed effect" is achieved using a laser and a satin treatment. Rolex Replica Watches claims that this finishing would be impossible to achieve by hand due to the sharp angles. It took the manufacturer an entire year to perfect the treatment.
