ooooh so great, I am in!!! definitelly count me in

 

[Daniel Smith]

Interesting. I'd absolutely love this in bronze if that is an option.

 

[Axelay2003]

This is looking fantastic!

 

[SimpleWatchMan]

Interesting design.

 

[Ed P.]

Yes, a very interesting design, and quite different from the previous design. I like the thinner profile of the current version. I'm not sure about having the bezel smaller than the case, though. It looks like it could be difficult to operate the bezel. Also, I'm not discerning any difference in the three black dial pics.. There will be more detail to come, I'm sure!

 

[Borealis Watch Admin]

The bezel will have 3.8mm height about same as the Seafarer II so should operate easily.

The blue dial looks good with the matching blue bezel. Could we see a rendering of the white dial with white bezel? That would be hot.

I really don't know with this one ...

Somehow dial and bezel look very busy to me. I actually very much prefer the earlier designs... and colours !

So, the bezel is no longer removable and compatible with the Manta Ray, I presume ?

Will need to see more pics, really.

Regards,

I generally like the design, though the hands and markers now look a bit too "dressy" for the tool-like case.
...Unless the case has some polished surfaces.

 

[Borealis Watch Admin]

The case has combined brushed and polished surfaces. The bezel will not share the Manta Ray system as thickness would be of 16mm compared to less than 13mm provided by a 9015 movement with this type of construction.

How will the strap attach to the case? Will it use standard straps?

I prefer the previous dial, hands & bezel insert design. It was easier for my old eyes to read the time, without my reading glasses.

But I prefer the current overall shape & size of the case and bezel, which seems thinner to me.

 

[Borealis Watch Admin]

Sorry but the old design won´t happen. The case will be able to use our rubber straps and also will be offered with a bracelet.

 

[SimpleWatchMan]

Ok, noted.

Is the outside diameter of the bezel around 41-42mm?

It is also possible to offer it in Bronze CuSn8 depending on demand.

bezel is 42mm.

 

[PaulDecember]

Great to hear it will use regular straps, I'll probably end up ordering one.
...I hope the final design get less generic hands, something with a bit more personality.

 

[SimpleWatchMan]

bezel is 42mm.

Thanks.
