Borealis Sea Dragon Watch Project

It is not a skeleton hand. There is a layer underneath that is applied to hand so that lume can be added.

Some small changes specially in the white silver version (hour and minute hands more grey so that they are easier to read)

When you say grey hands, are you referring to them being grey chrome or grey matte finish? If matte finish, will they be bead blasted or brushed?

 

[Borealis Watch Admin]

Hands are grey coloured not chrome pantone color Cool Gray 9U. As you are in the sidelines better for you to wait for prototype to make a decision.

Thanks for the response. Will we see the prototype prior to the end of the pre-order? Or better yet prior to February, lol.

 

[Borealis Watch Admin]

Yes, that is the idea. Prototype will be ready prior Chinese New Year so we will be able to show case it.

Awesome! Thanks!

I truly like the orange version. Good job!

It is a stainless steel insert as for other variants. The others dials have the insert black PVC coated though.

Is the bezel ceramic or stainless steel/pvd?

 

[Borealis Watch Admin]

Bezel is stainless steel with stainless steel pvd insert (for all models except silver white that is stainless steel).

Thank you. I am confused because the description of the watch specifications set forth in yesterday's email provides:

• 120 clicks unidirectional ceramic bezel with BGW9 lume applied to indexes

Thanks

 

[Borealis Watch Admin]

Yes, that was a typo. It is PVD insert.

Black Dial, Gray Dial, Orange Dial

Silver White Dial

Buckle is not going to be this one in production version.

When you said silver dial bezel is stainless steel no pvd... Does it means it's like Piranha white or black dial bezel where it's just plain SS without any paint? Then how do you incorporate the lume to the bezel if no protection like bezel inserts?

 

[Borealis Watch Admin]

Silver White Dial will have a stainless steel bezel with a stainless steel insert. Instead of insert being PVD coated will be in stainless steel with lume applied.

 

[Gabe]

Will you have prototype for the white dial? Will it be ready before the coupon expires?

 

[Borealis Watch Admin]

The dial is not white, it is silver white. According to current plan prototype should be finished by end of January prior coupon expires.
Once prototypes arrive will post photos.

Can't decide? Unsure of sizing? Go elementary... good ol' print and cut.

Gone very quiet on this thread, any prototype pictures available yet? Having difficulty choosing a colour....

No news is good news. Factory is producing prototype cases (update I got last Friday) so we are on plan.
