For the third anniversary of the Cedric Bellon Sustainable Watches brand the CB01 comes back in a very special repurposed titanium execution with vibrant dial colours. A new collab between Cedric Bellon and Watch Angels.
The CB01 Small Seconds comes back in repurposed grade 5 titanium execution. According to the philosophy of the CB brand – which only crafts locally, in Switzerland, with locally sourced up-cycled, recycled or recyclable raw materials and components – the case, dial and buckle are machined out of small segments of titanium bars that are left over from other productions.

The CB01 small seconds
The CB01 small seconds was the first watch to be designed and developed for maximum sustainability. It’s circularly produced with a purposely build supply chain and a purposely optimised manufacturing system aimed at maximising material, transformation and transportation, sustainability. It was also the first watch with a sustainability certificate of its own. The new CB01 TI shares the same components, production system and movement of the CB01 small seconds, albeit machined in Titanium. The CB01 TI is a new development for the brand which aims at repurposing new materials that offer new aesthetic effects.
Sandblasted case and vibrant colours
The vibrant colours of the CB01 TI vertically brushed titanium dials (matched with the colour of the small seconds hand) have been obtained by the sustainable PVD coating technique, and, in order to increase the sustainability of the process, the dials have been added to existing productions in order not to utilise dedicated machine capacity and energy.
The indigo, green, blue, orange and black titanium dials possess the signature CB light reflection characteristic whereby the colour tone changes according to the reflection of the light on the dial providing the user with a unique aesthetic experience.
The titanium grade 5 case, crown and buckle are sandblasted and the matte tool watch effect of the case highlights the dial colors to perfection.
The movement
The CB01 encases a repurposed DD14060 small seconds Dubois Dépraz caliber which was first commissioned on an exclusive basis by another brand, of which a small stock remains. It features a small seconds module at 12 o’clock on a Sellita SW300 base.
The models
The CB01 TI collection features five 40mm diameter models: indigo, green, blue, orange and black
