McQuaide x WatchGecko

Limited to 20 across colours

Light, captured in motion.

The C1 Sunburst brings energy to the Cosmopolitan Collection, a dial that shifts and responds as it meets the light, constantly changing throughout the day.

Encased in Damascus Steel, no two patterns are ever the same.
Each case reveals its own flowing structure, organic, complex, and impossible to replicate.

Paired with the yellow Radstock leather strap from WatchGecko, the result is something richer still.

Hand-made, hand-finished, each unique strap softens and evolvs over time.

Refined for evening light, and expressive in daylight.

Our use of Damascus Steel means every McQuaide watch case is unique.

The screw-down is engraved with our iconic 'M' logo, while the exhibition caseback is made of engraved Damascus Steel, it is more than a window: it's a connection to the intricate craftsmanship at the heart of each watch.

Crystal

Anti-reflective Sapphire Crystal

One of the hardest materials used in watchmaking, Sapphire Crystal resists scratches from everyday wear. Its anti-reflective coating reduces glare and enhances dial readability.  

Movement

Sellita SW200-1b automatic movement

An industry-standard Swiss component known for its precision, reliability, and durability, featuring 26 jewels, 28,800 BPH and a 38 hour Power Reserve    

Dial

Gradient dial

The C1 dial showcases a striking radial gradient effect, transitioning seamlessly from deep, rich tones at its edge to lighter hues toward the centre. This subtle shift in colour creates depth and dimension.

Completing the display, the sweeping seconds hand is finished with a colour-matched tip, a refined yet dynamic detail that adds contrast, precision, and a touch of energy.

Lume

BGW9 white emission Super-LumiNova® is applied to the hands and indices. An elegant white in daylight, in low light it delivers a crisp blue-green luminescence for unparalleled visibility.

Water resistance

Water resistant to 10ATM (100 metres)

Straps

Sophisticated leather


The McQuaide C1 x WatchGecko combination features two straps.

1. The 22mm Radstock leather strap from WatchGecko. Hand-made and hand finished in Spain.

I bought a watch at the Watchit event…

"I bought a watch at the Watchit event… I bought a watch at the Watchit event on the 21st June 2025, and it is now my everyday wear. I have a collection built over 50 years of around 200 and this goes into my top 5. Value for money, it is probably the top 3 and specification as well, with the big difference being the others are 5k plus. Anyone sitting on the fence should stop and buy one now. British built excellence!"
