Piaget revived classic elements from its Polo 79 collection, then incorporated the most iconic design element—the circular engraving—into a contemporary series now named the Polo Seal. While the final watch retains the technical essence, the design philosophy is more pronounced. The unchanged 1110P automatic movement remains reliable and stable. At first glance, the change is obvious; the dial's layers are not only more defined, but more importantly, it enhances the Piaget brand's recognizability and style.

The overall design of the new Polo Signature watch retains the familiar 42mm case and cushion-shaped dial within a round bezel, along with interchangeable straps, but with a significantly stronger visual impact. While earlier Polo Date watches featured a relatively minimalist dial design, the Polo Seal dial allows for richer interaction with light, creating a more striking contrast and a more distinctive look on the wrist. At Piaget, the circular engraving is not a trivial detail. Its appearance on the dial is not merely a design choice, but part of the brand's repositioning.
In the original Piaget Polo watch, the circular engraving decoration defined the entire timepiece, seamlessly integrating the case and bracelet. In modern Piaget Polo watches, however, this decorative element has become a visual identifier, applied to the dial rather than merging the dial, case, and bracelet, aiming to create a unified sense of continuity across the entire collection.
This shift also reflects the evolution of the Polo series itself. Over time, it has evolved from a single design concept into a more diverse collection. Especially in the early 21st century, models like the Polo FortyFive pushed the series into the realm of traditional sports watches. The Piaget Polo S, launched in 2016, attempted to reverse this trajectory, adopting a new design language that aligns with luxury sports, marking Piaget's official entry into the already fiercely competitive luxury sports watch market. Its models primarily feature stainless steel and are priced more affordably. While this watch is market-driven, its unique brand recognition is somewhat lacking.
Like the 2016 model, the Polo Signature series watches are also equipped with the automatic 1110P movement, which is derived from the 800P movement launched in the early 21st century. It is a proven and reliable in-house movement with a thickness of only 4 mm, which is very thin for a standard automatic movement.
