    Pre-Order Borealis Seafarer II 4000m Automatic Diver Watch

    I don't see where it is a pretty ordinary watch to be honest. All specs are top and quality is to be superb surpassing watches costing over 700 USD.

    Watch we are paying tribute to is the SM300 Royal Navy It featured sword hands and both date / non date versions.

    Pre-Order Borealis Estoril 300m Automatic

    Ideally we should offer a strap water resistance so we are thinking on a Nato + optional mesh.

    That is more the current Omega version, don't you agree? It may look nice but then we are departing from the vintage theme.

    Pre-Order Borealis Estoril 300m Automatic

    This project is all custom made as almost no OEM parts exist. However something that we will reuse from existing catalogue are the watch hands. If we are to make hands exactly as the vintage version prices will increase considerably as factory will require a minimum set of 2000 hands + tooling...

    Pre-Order Borealis Estoril 300m Automatic

    To clarify: both date and no date versions will be offered for pre-order. As for rest of details we will revisit those when factory is less busy with HK Watch fair.

    Pre-Order Borealis Seafarer II 4000m Automatic Diver Watch

    It has been suggested by a customer that 4000m could be a bad omen for Asian customers and if we could instead offer a spec without using 4xxxx meters. Therefore we are revising project so that water resistance is of 3988 meters. This does not change any technical designs or construction of...

    Pre-Order Borealis Estoril 300m Automatic

    Initially idea was to use RC Tritec vintage lume but two big caveats: lume does not glow as much and does not last long (compared to BGW9) it is harder for hands and dial tonalities to match (as it is different factories that manufacture hands and dial). Therefore it has been strongly...

    Pre-Order Borealis Estoril 300m Automatic

    As promised unveiling last renders of the Borealis Estoril 300. Some small changes to be made but will take some time to update those (we have to decide bezel numbers to be underscored or not). Not because we are lazy but we are all busy with HK Watch Fair.

    Pre-Order Borealis Seafarer II 4000m Automatic Diver Watch

    Their grey is slightly darker and from what I gathered they will release the grey when watches are in stock. Didn't reach pre-order as there was no demand for it on early stages. It is difficult to print date wheels so we are skipping that. We are waiting for some inputs from factory to showcase...

    L2L will be about 49mm yes but still working on final details as having drilled lugs influences a bit on lug to lug size. Both 3s are from the Omega SM300 not aftermarket but if majority prefers a rounder 3 that can be looked at on final design stages.

    Pre-Order Borealis Estoril 300m Automatic

    C3 lume is always stronger compared to BGW9 but for this type of watch the white lume color (in daylight) compliments it better and grants it a more vintage look but this is my personal opinion. However if majority prefers C3 we can go to C3 or make a BGW9 and C3 versions though prices will...

    No, there is no estimate whatsoever and won't have it till we finalize designs. Also factory is closed this week due to HK Watch Fair.

    Pre-Order Borealis Estoril 300m Automatic

    First renders of bezel were with clean numbers but as mentioned by some members adding an underscore increases readability of bezel and makes it possible to be used for timing events. Movement wil be a Miyota 9015. Allows us to minimize height of watch and to grant it a slimmer profile. Both...
