Marco Polo's Journey Black Corner x Anka Watch - Red & Gold

Created by Black Corner in collaboration with Anka, The Marco Polo's Journey watch pays tribute to the legendary Venetian explorer on the 700th anniversary of his passing. Through a bold and symbolic design, it retraces his legendary journey across Asia and celebrates his spirit of adventure, discovery, and openness to the world.

The Watch

The Marco Polo's Journey Watch by Black Corner, in collaboration with Anka, captures the very essence of adventure. This limited edition of 100 pieces draws its design inspiration from the colors of Venice, echoing Marco Polo's legendary travels. The round case measures 39 mm in diameter and 9.5 mm thick, subtly draped in brilliant gold that contrasts beautifully with the screw-down caseback. The design masterfully balances tradition and innovation, with a flat mineral glass protecting the dial and an ergonomically positioned crown for easy time adjustment.

The Dial

The dial is a celebration of cultural heritage: a smoked background with an elegant light-playing finish that reveals deep shades of black and yellow. Traditional indexes give way to glyphs - each symbol paying tribute to a country along Marco Polo's journey, including Latin at one o'clock, honoring his roots. These elements create a remarkable visual harmony, further enhanced by SuperLuminova-tipped hands for optimal legibility even in the dark.

The Movement

At the heart of this elegant timepiece beats a Japanese Miyota quartz movement, a hallmark of Japanese durability and precision. It delivers accurate display of hours and minutes. Renowned for its reliability, this movement minimizes timekeeping drift - making this watch the perfect choice for travelers and hopeless romantics drawn to the rich story it tells.

The Strap

The strap is crafted in red rubber - resilient and built to last - delivering both comfort and durability. This material adds a sporty edge to an otherwise very classic watch. At 15 mm wide, it hugs the wrist perfectly, secured with a classic pin buckle for a quick, easy fit.

Water Resistance

With water resistance of 10 ATM, this watch is ready for the shower, the pool, and everything in between. Built for the active everyday and the adventure-minded, it is the ultimate companion for modern exploration - a true tribute to the free-spirited, fearless legacy of Marco Polo, inviting you to rediscover the world with every passing hour.
