That is more the current Omega version, don't you agree? It may look nice but then we are departing from the vintage theme.

I wonder why people keep on saying things like that... BGW9 is marginally less bright than C3 but clearly lasts longer, at least in my experience.

Are These colours really necessary? Yellow makes the Watch Look like aftermarket. For me Black is satisfiying enough. At this Point i would Keep it simple and Cost low.

Maria, how about a Cordura strap like Speedmaster version?

Ideally we should offer a strap water resistance so we are thinking on a Nato + optional mesh.

My god Maria this is insanely cool!As promised unveiling last renders of the Borealis Estoril 300.
Some small changes to be made but will take some time to update those (we have to decide bezel numbers to be underscored or not). Not because we are lazy but we are all busy with HK Watch Fair.
Things I LOVE:
- reasonable size: I would have liked even smaller (I know I'm the minority) but 41.5 is great, especially considering the case protrudes a bit. I guess the bezel will be around 40-40.5mm?
- no date available! Yay!
- no fake vintage lume: the yellow lume we see around a lot these days is horrible and tacky
Things I don't like: nothing.
I agree though that the 3 on the bezel has to be rounded.
Any estimate when you're putting this for pre order?
I totally agree. Also for me, stick to the BGW9 luminova.
Question about the case (maybe i missed an answer on this one). Will the case be polished with brushed parts?
The 12 o'clock marker is also departing from the SM 300 theme, more like the later SMP.
It's all coming together well.
My input:
I think the double sword hands of the SMP would actually look better on this watch.
The bezel numerals need to match the Arabic dial.
The lume should be BGW9 - The white will go better with a black dial.
Have you considered a smaller size for the BOREALIS font and maybe a stylised "B" (as per the Sea Dragon crown) above it to make things in keeping with the original - just a thought.

Watch we are paying tribute to is the SM300 Royal Navy
It featured sword hands and both date / non date versions.

Very promising design Maria, my only other suggestion would be to place a date window at 4-5 position, so as to keep 3,6,9 on dial, would be excellent upgrade to dial.
I also hope you could offer a mesh type bracelet as option, as this watch design needs a S/S bracelet for a dress up look.

It has been discussed a few pages back a mesh bracelet as an optional upgrade.

Why no thoughts on using a swiss 2824-2 movement?
