Pre-Order Borealis Estoril 300m Automatic
- Thread starter Borealis Watch Admin
- Start date
Some info that I need to add. I have just checked with factory and Miyota and Miyota does not supply a date at 6 o'clock with black wheel, only white wheel and black font.

So take this into account. If we go with date at 6 I will have to check also with factory lead times as Miyota only makes it by custom order!
Printing date wheels is not an option.

I already voted for date @ 3. I personally like the black background so that made it an easy choice.
It is possible to have black date wheel at 3 with custom order at Miyota and increased price.

Then everything changes; like i've said, i have made those renderings with the date at 6 only for the reason that the dial looked more balanced that way. But it matches perfectly with the white text on black disk/wheel. It wont look that good with a black text on white disk [imho]...Some info that I need to add.

This is going to be updated after HK watch fair.

For whatever reason ("not enough privileges") I can't vote nor say a thing on the poll thread.
So I'll express my opinion here. I'll buy the no-date-big-triangle but for date version I prefer the date-at-3-small-triangle (allows for more diversity with a limited number of variants and the date is white on black -it really needs to be!)

I have closed poll due to lack of a black date wheel at 6 provided by Miyota.

My preference is 12 @ 12 on the no date as well.nice, seems to be the growing consensus

We are going to offer both dial versions.

Why are you so happy about?! That was probably the best combo and the more balanced of them all and the majority of the members was voting that version[and i dont even like the date on a diver].
Try to respect everybody's choice and not being so selfish, seeing only your goal. They're trying to create a watch for everyone's tastes and not only for one person.

Sorry, if you miss read my tone but like I said the execution wouldn't have looked as good as the render, which I liked. I liked the 6 o'clock, it just wouldn't have actually looked like that due to the physical requirements of the movement, as I stated in my comment.Why are you so happy about?!

well, it could've worked with the 20Y movement and a custom date wheel but most I've seen most just use the more accessable 20A and just do a custom date wheel by flipping the window proportions sideways, making for a narrower window.
I think the black date wheel is key to the watche's charm, I hope you move forward with that option.
