Pre-Order Borealis Seafarer II 4000m Automatic Diver Watch

[SuperP]

Really nice work on that version 5, beautiful hands.

We have opened a poll so that final hands version can be chosen

Yet distortion can be a very pleasant view, as long as its not tooo pronounced.
So maybe there's a possibility to cut down costs in getting a more domed crystal? I suspect a lot of people will prefer a larger dome (as long as the watch doesn't become mega-thick) more distortion and a smaller price...

Maria, maybe I've missed it, but I'm wondering if you can provide a little info on the dials. In the renders, the black dials look like they might be textured (or something). The grey dials look like they are flat. Is that accurate or can you provide a better description?
Thanks

 

[Borealis Watch Admin]

That is to represent a matte finish of dials instead of glossy.

Is the final rendering going to have the inner chapter ring matching the bezel?
BTW: I voted for version 1 on the hands.

The chapter ring is either black or blue (depending on version).

 

[TheWraith]

Please leave the dial, bezel and bracelet (with 4mm taper) as is. Those aspects look perfect as already illustrated. I'd be happy with most of the hands listed in the poll, but everything else is already perfect as is and does not need alteration.

 

[bill anagnos]

I like the Pvd or dlc best

 

[Daniel Smith]

As a suggestion Maria, have you though of offering a variant with a full luminous dial (BGW9 blue like the Scorpionfish) with blue bezel and coloured indices?

A FLD diver would be a great point of difference. Something like this, except not terrible (the important suggestion is the full lume dial) :-

 

[bill anagnos]

Or could put 40x100Wr

 

[bill anagnos]

Now if could get it in titanium that would be great!

 

[TheWraith]

I think the watch should be left as is now. It's spot on just as it is.

 

[TheWraith]

Looking forward to seeing some renders of this watch from different angles. Bring on the pre-order

 

[Borealis Watch Admin]

New poll made and yes this one is to be the final one. Offering now a new hands set + a turbine bezel.

This version offers a new set of hands with a larger lumed area for hours + minutes and therefore easy reading of time.

The turbine bezel looks like this (we are not offering a interchangeable case just to give idea how the bezel looks from a side view).

Maria, FANTASTIC !
This time I think you have really nailed it !
Great turbine bezel, to really set it apart from the norm, and those GP hands are really what we need for that aggressive deep diver look.
Just make this ..............

Regards,

If this proceeds with a turbine bezel, then I'm not sure I'll proceed with my pre-order. The previous bezel was perfect already. The only thing in dispute was the hands, so why then change the bezel as well? Doesn't make sense! I want the previous bezel, please, or have the turbine as an option along with the previous bezel. Apart from the hands, everything else was perfect, so why change things that didn't need changing?

Great idea!!! Add bezel (turbine) in package.

 

[TheWraith]

Exactly, as an option, so buyers can choose traditional bezel or turbine bezel.
