Pre-Order Borealis Estoril 300m Automatic

[SimpleWatchMan]

After a few iterations we are ending up with a total of 8 versions for the Borealis Estoril 300!

Design is now closed. Factory is working on the technical details.

We tried to please majority of requests made but at this stage design is now closed.

I probably will get the ver B and C.1 if the price is right. Looking forward to the pricing news. Good job!

Case thickness?

Very fun!

I hope that doesn't cause the cost to rise much.

Hi Maria,

Regarding some details on the Estoril;

Are the markers applied? ( From the current pictures they look like applied )
Will the bezel be ceramic or sapphire?

You can find those details on the first page. Dial markers are not applied as we are going to use thick lume. One contradicts the other.

As for the bezel is sapphire which costs more than a ceramic insert.

Hi Maria,
Is there a chance to have an idea for the pre-order date/period?
One day... one week... one month...
Just to relax before weekend
You also have an idea of ow many pcs for each version will be available?

Found it, I expected to find this in the first post... it's more to the bottom, could you update the first post with the new information and details.
Thick lume is great!

Sapphire bezel is good, why not choose ceramic?

Details on the decision also somewhere around. The original SM300 had plexiglass and acrylic bezel. We updated it all to sapphire in order to make it with today's technology and achieving similar looks.

That makes a lot of sense! Thanks for the reply on this Maria! I'm ready for the pre-order now ;-)

This is insanely cool, thanks Maria!

Sapphire bezel costs more? I'd prefer a ceramic bezel but it sounds like the specs are now set.

Maria, I note at the being of this thread the case is symmetrical, but in the final renders the case has become asymmetrical with the side at 3 a lot wider. Is this an error in the renders or is the case going to be asymmetrical???

As far as I know, the SM 300 always had an asymmetrical case, with the side at 3 wider and acting as crown guard.

Here is a History of the SM 300 showing it is asymmetrical.

Man, now that you threw in the blue dials, I'll HAVE to buy two of them. I'm thinking a black dial/no date and a blue dial/date. I just need to figure out which dial I want.

That is correct.

I may have missed it but is the bezel gonna be like the original and "stepped" (see pic)? If so, that is awesome.
