Can you let me know your opinions on this renders for a new diver watch we are working in?



Case shape will be similar to Seiko SBBN015 and powered by a Miyota 9015 movement.

Will be either 300 or 500 meters water resistance. Due to case design it will not be possible to have a HEV.

It will come with a 22mm rubber strap.

Lume likely to be BGW9 applied to bezel, dial, hands.

I like the indices and hands. I am not a huge fan of the crown at 4 look but this looks good! I would want one with a matt black dial. 42mm?

If the case is similar to the Marine Master does that mean this one has a shroud?

I think that the paddle hands compliment the shape of the dial markers nicely.

Gray looks good with the orange. Another option would be a light blue with orange. Sort of like the Gulf Racing colors.

Some people might not like the white date wheel so maybe have the option of a no date dial?

Well, for some reason, my computer can't open this image...But let's try to say some words about the description of this project, based on the SBBN015's case. It's not my favourite case, but, problem for me is the size. Do you think it will have 46mm? If so, think I'm out. Other problem is don't have a SS bracelet. Rubber bands are not bad, and are suitable for both real or desk divers, but there is a problem when you don't have enough time to wear it. Congrats!

Miyota 9015 are ok, and no problem don't have a HEV, as all we know this valve rarely have to work.

I really like it!!!
I like the indices and hands the most. As others have said, would prefer matte black dial.

Not too fond of the crown at 4. I would prefer black or white face.... But I like the shape and build of it. Def would consider buying it!

I like the shrouded bezel a la the Tunacan. The Myota 9015 is a good choice for the movement. I like the 4 o'clock crown. As presented in rendering, the grey dial and hands are not my cuppa.

Anything bigger than 40mm case and 20mm straps are too big for me, also I don't like it, sorry.

Wow. I like that one a lot. Lack of an HEV valve doesn't bother me.

I would prefer either a orange w/black outlined hour markers or black dial with chrome markers. Not a big fan of grey dials. The grey dial is nice though.

Probably the only concern I would have is how the shroud actually looks. Hard to tell from the top down view.

How large and tall is the case? 42+MM for me works.

What is the bezel insert made out of?

Will the bezel be lumed

Well ! I do like very much the overall design and innovative touch. Found of crown at 4 (like a few Orient and Seiko already owned, confortable). Colours association looks great and original, please keep on creating with "grey & orange" in mind. My main objection would be the hands. For me, the hands of the Sea Diver would be a good option, more "straight forward" and clear for reading. Last but not least, more than 42 mm would make me not suitable to wear it. 300 m would be nice and sufficient, 500 m would be great !

Thanks for the poll and consultation, makes me feel considered. Good evening all.

A helium release valve is not possible with this type of case construction. The metal ring attaches to watch case with screws and gets close to it so would not make suitable to have a HEV as well.

Bezel will be lumed and made of stainless steel with IPB coating. We are working on more dial variations.

A new draft but we are working still on details.

Screws will likely be changed to hex / allen / inbus type (2mm or 2.5mm) and the metal ring will be possible to be swapped by user. Likely we will offer more metal rings if demand is enough in bronze, DLC coated, Anonized Aluminum (blue, red, yellow, ...)

Lume will be BGW9 with thick layers ...
