Pretty please, do a Marine or Aviation watch :)

This is an open letter to Maria but feedback/thoughts from others are welcome.

I'm loving what Borealis has been doing lately - with the Scorpionfish, then the Batial, Estoril and SF2, and now the Bull Shark, you're making some awesome dive watches.

However, they are all dive watches.

I'm a big fan as well of marine and aviation style watches, however they all have one big weakness, which is that the water resistance and durability is not always that great.

So my question/request is - would you consider designing and producing either a marine or aviation watch, with a fixed bezel and appropriate styling, but use your expertise in producing watches with a high WR rating to make something with a 300, 500, 1000, maybe even 2000m depth rating?

I reckon that with the usual combination of Borealis great quality, unique twists on existing themes and great pricing, it would sell like hot cakes.

Example of the 2 types of watches I'm talking about below.

Thanks!

Could call a marine model 'Espadarte' and aviation model 'Cajaleó'

Hello, the images are not showing up, can you please check? We may consider in future a pilot watch or a marine one but those are for a different target audience.

Hmm, they are showing up for me so I don't know - they're linked to Photobucket account.

Will try uploading them as an attachment to this post.

Also I don't necessarily think the target audience is different - I think now that Borealis is more well known, your target audience is 'people who love great value watches' not just 'people who love great value divers' Plus in a way, if you can make them with decent water resistance, they'll appeal even to the diver crowd

I can see them now, thanks. We have made a similar pilot a couple of years ago, it was the Borealis Pilot Diver.

Yep, saw that previously - however would be interesting to see what you can come up with with all the recent experience on your watches since then - from what I've seen your quality (and also refinement) just gets better and better with each new watch
