Ref. PWVBA0323
Sits in Philipp Plein’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Philipp Plein watches we list, which start at £219.
Price range £219 to £479 across 30 Philipp Plein watches in stock.A tonneau-shaped ceramic case at 44mm houses a skeletonised blue dial, leaving the NH70 automatic movement visible beneath. The fixed ceramic bezel continues the blue colouring across the case, which measures 14.4mm thick and sits on an 18.8mm lug width. A screwed stainless steel caseback closes the case, while hardened mineral crystal covers the dial. Luminous treatment is applied to the hands and markers. A matching blue silicone strap fastens with a pin buckle, keeping the overall look consistent through to the wrist.

Learn more about Philipp Plein
Philipp Plein founded his label in Munich in 1998, initially designing furniture before moving into fashion. The brand built itself on deliberate excess and has been divisive throughout.
The watches follow suit: heavy gold and black PVD plating, skull motifs, dense crystal setting, and large cases. Movements are quartz. There is no attempt at horological restraint and none is intended.
The brand knows precisely what it is doing and does it without apology, which at least makes it coherent.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedHow long does it run for when it's not worn?
About 40 hours fully wound — enough to survive a night off the wrist, but not a full weekend.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
