The OVNI Martian
For centuries, Mars has captivated the human imagination.
A world of iron-rich deserts, towering volcanoes and endless dust storms, its unmistakable ochre glow has inspired myths, scientific discovery and dreams of distant civilisations. It is the planet that has always seemed just close enough to tempt us, yet far enough to remain a mystery.
The OVNI Martian captures that spirit. Its warm dégradé dial transitions from a deep burnt orange at its centre to a soft golden yellow around the edge, echoing the colours of the Martian horizon as sunlight filters through a sky filled with fine red dust.
Inspired by the timeless vision of flying saucers that has fuelled human imagination for generations, the OVNI is engineered with the same obsession for exploration. Its 904L stainless steel case and signature doughnut-shaped sapphire crystal demand exceptional manufacturing precision, creating a seamless sculptural form while maintaining robust water resistance.
At its heart beats the Swiss La Joux-Perret G101 Soigné, paired with Isotope’s exclusive Jumping Disc module. The lightweight aluminium time disc, finished with bespoke numerals and filled with Super-LumiNova®, glides beneath the crystal like a celestial body in silent orbit. Offering a 68-hour power reserve, the OVNI Martian combines space-age imagination with uncompromising Swiss watchmaking. Our journey is only beginning, and should we happen to meet the Martians, you’ll be the first to know.

Accuracy: The base La Joux-Perret G101 Soigné movement is regulated to ±7 seconds/day in four positions before assembly. Due to the additional energy required to drive the Isotope Jumping Disc complication, the completed watch may vary by a few additional seconds per day, which is normal for this type of mechanism.
