Watch of the Week - The Motima XT

The Motima XT by Curtis Australia is not a watch that fades quietly into the background. It is assertive, architectural, and unmistakably deliberate — a piece that reflects a growing confidence within Australian watchmaking.

At its core is a striking octagonal case, handcrafted in solid 9ct yellow gold, a shape that immediately separates the Motima XT from the familiar round silhouettes that dominate the market. The geometry is softened by a finely executed micro-fluted bezel, catching light subtly rather than aggressively, and framing a clean sunray dial that balances modernity with restraint.

Powering the Motima XT is a Swiss-made automatic movement with a 42-hour power reserve, visible through a sapphire exhibition caseback. The rotor is custom engraved, a small but telling detail that reinforces the watch’s sense of individuality and craftsmanship. Sapphire crystal protects both front and rear, ensuring durability without compromising visual clarity.

Curtis offers the Motima XT with a range of considered options. Dial color's include classic black and white, while wearers can choose between a leather strap or a two-tone stainless steel bracelet. For those wanting a discreet flourish, an optional diamond set at 12 o’clock adds a touch of refinement without excess.

What elevates the Motima XT beyond specification is its intent. This is a watch designed not to chase trends, but to establish a visual identity that feels purposeful and enduring. The use of precious metal, combined with modern case architecture, positions the Motima XT as a bridge between traditional luxury watchmaking and contemporary Australian design thinking.

More than a collection of specifications, the Motima XT represents Curtis Australia’s approach to watchmaking: individually crafted, performance-driven, and unapologetically distinctive. It stands as a statement piece within a growing Australian watch landscape — confident in its design language and clear in its intent.
