Red Star Continuum Automatic – ST1716 Flowing Hour

A new way to experience time.

The Red Star Continuum Automatic does not display time in jumps, but as a continuous flow. In the fan-shaped window at the 12 o’clock position, the flowing hour display moves smoothly forward – a fascinating and almost poetic way of showing time.

Alongside the classic minute hand, the watch features a central date hand with its own scale and a refined small seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock. A rare combination that makes this timepiece a true mechanical highlight.

Key Features of the Continuum

• Flowing hour display at 12 o’clock
  The hour is shown in a “time-flow window” and moves without jumping – a visual continuum of time.
• Three-layered dial construction
  The dial features three levels for depth, structure, and presence. Available in four colors: White-Silver, Moss Green, Ocean Blue, and Tangerine.
• Unique date display
  The hand that would normally be used for the hour is here dedicated to the date. A circular date pointer indicates the date on a scale – intuitive, elegant, and uncommon. The date can be adjusted quickly using the pusher at the 1 o’clock position.
• Small seconds at 6 o’clock
  A classic element, beautifully integrated.
