Baselworld 2010: Sultana Galatea Distinctive design for watch named after Greek goddess Galatea

In mythology lore, the sea nymph Galatea was so distraught by the murder of her lover that she used his blood to form a river. And that is the name that was used to inspire this watch from Switzerland-based Sultana. The emphatic white splashes and red hour markers create a design that even the Greek gods would probably find eye-catching. The watch band is made of stainless steel, the piece features automatic movement, and it is water resistant up to 30 meters.

Available in two different versions, design options include a black face with white Arabic numbers (pictured), or a white face with Roman numerals. Sultana's unique watch repertoire includes the "Posseidon Collection," "Cassandra," and "Nereus," each one representing a different creature from Greek mythology. The Galatea adds to that portfolio, although its namesake is a rather obscure mythological figure.
