Is the bezel insert going to be ceramic, sapphire or aluminium?

I really like the black and blue dial versions. Also, I vote for an 8 beat/sec. movement. Have you ever considered the Sellita SW200?

I am disappointed.
I am a big fan of this kind of watches.
The first version of the Medus was awesome. And my hope was that this watch was made.

The new design is not my thing.
I think the dial and hands design is too classy for this kind of watch.

Maybe I need to see proto type pics.

First versus new version - I like both. But maybe you could try new version case + bezel with first version dial and hands.

But for me doesnt matter, I will take one despite which version you will produce.

And if you will do both I will get both.

And I also vote for bronze versions.

I am really happy this project is continuing now, Maria, thanks for that!

About the only thing I don't love is the size, and visual clutter, of having the full length minute indices on the dial.

Reminds me very slightly of the mouth of a sea lamprey.

Size? Really? I wear mostly 41-43mm watches but this lugless design REALLY can be larger.
Remember seiko tuna, remember halios puck.

tuna f.e. is 49-51mm but wears like 45mm watch, same with the puck, which is even 48mm. Puck looks still ok for small Jason's wrist. Its large for my tastes but its 48mm, not 45mm.

I suppose this Medusa with 45mm diameter will feel like 40-41mm watch, no doubd

and even the bezel is smaller, just 42mm, it will be ultimate wearable watch for small and smaller and even smallest wrists!!! Mark my words...

As I mentioned earlier, I very much preferred the overall design, dial, bezel, hands, and even the colours of the initial Medusa ...
But, that's not going to happen !!! Unfortunately ...
I am trying to like this new version ...
Maybe shorter minute markers on the dial, perhaps stick to the length of the two markers by the date window, and without the fully indexed bezel will make the watch look less busy, and a lot easier to read at a glance ?
Maybe a more dynamic handset ?
Just my 2 cents ...
BTW, will there be a no-date version offered as well ?

Regards

Yeah, I just noticed you have made some changes, on the FB site !
The shorter minute markers have already made quite a difference !!!
And the Bronze looks interesting, too !
Starting to look much better ...

Not sure if mentioned before but idea is for dial to be sandwich dial so that lume markers close to border have a more 3D and depth look (though it will sacrifice some luminosity).

Bronze case + Brown dial + Sandwich markers ... Take my money now!

Just for the record, if Bronze becomes a cost issue I'm completely cool with Brass. I have a Brass Maranez and really like the color and the patina it forms.
I assume the Bronze wouldn't come with a bracelet, so I guess that would keep costs down a bit.
