Looks Fantastic Maria, great overall design and changes, as long as the pre-order price is as good, I'am definitely In for this beauty.
Must admit that the dark blue dial/bezel rendering is really nice, especially the numeral version without the date window, IMHO.
Any chance it might be offered as a choice?

The first one shown (triangle, date) hits all the right marks for me Maria, and thanks for letting the masses help direct how this project has evolved, seems like you've gotten a lot of constructive feedback! For me if this were the final design decision I'd be more than happy with that!

I see where you're coming from but we have already too much of complexity at hands and we are offering a total of 4 different variants already.

It's a shame there's no blue version, but 4 black versions. I suspect with the interest shown in blue so far you'd sell more if you subtracted out the least desired black option and added a blue, but I respect your decision.

Best,

Would it be possible to see a render with no minute markers on the bezel?

I think the bezel is a little busy and the minute markers aren't really needed.

Plus if there's no minute markers, it may allow for further text on the dial.

I'm not saying to go ahead with it but could somebody mock it up to see how it looks. Maybe with a 300m in red under or above the estoril wording.

Love the work so far tho!

The Estoril 300m pays tribute to the original Omega SM300 Seamaster Royal Navy and it seems near perfect to the original now.

Are you buying this watch or selling it?

If your selling it then I think it would be good from a business perspective, not to shoot down all ideas until you've explored them just because you feel it's 'near perfect'. I could design a watch I like and thought was perfect but if someone else has other ideas that work then it would be foolish to ignore them at risk of putting off perspective buyers.

Thanks

Would have liked to see two black dial versions (large triangle no date, 12 arabic with date) and two blue dial versions (same options), total of four dials, but Borealis' call. I think the dial, hands, and bezel look good at this point.

If we order from the black theme to a blue we are departing considerably from the watch we're paying tribute to and increasing costs as well.

As a seller of course we can do it but enough demand has to exist and price will increase as factory will slap us in the face with MOQs not being reached per version.

Also after the blue will any other color appear? Orange, yellow, white?

We all have to be aware that full customisation is not possible specially when we are talking on a watch that will retail for less than $500.00 USD and with specs equal or better than other watches costing double or more its asking price.
