Lumed numbers will not be an easy task as many would complain on intensity of lume on numbers not to be the same as the markers. The triangle and hour/minute markers can be made quite thick. As for numbers not as easy and would increase a lot scraping of dials during production. Remember that...

Don't think will work well with this model as the case is similar in shape to the Sea Dweller. With its angled surface would look odd with drilled or perforated lugs. The Borealis Estoril 300 will feature drilled lugs though.

We have already replied a few posts back that a tropic strap is not possible. To develop a brand new one costs are over $15000 USD. However we may be able to work on a 20mm iso style with premium vulcanic rubber. This will very much depend on a future launch of a 22mm premium vulcanized rubber...

There is nothing wrong with the Sea Dragon lume. A bit hard to explain but lume intensity with rest constant depends on 3 factors: grain size of lume (the smaller the better and the more expensive) lume area (the larger area the more intense) lume thickness (the higher the thickness the more...

Idea is to offer watch without bracelet. What we can offer is a mesh. If we make a bracelet for this watch prices will increase considerably as currently there are no market parts that can be used for it. Developing a bracelet from ground up is very very expensive, that is why we are considering...

Possible is but will increase complexity a lot in terms of assembly and increase costs. We want this watch to be sold at the best price and not for $600 USD.

Unveiling the Borealis Seafarer II. Our deepest diver ever. Pre-order starting soon Case Size: 44mm x 53mm Screwed down crown Slightly Domed Sapphire Crystal with A/R coating inside and 6mm height 120 clicks unidirectional sapphire bezel with BGW9 or C3 lume applied to indexes Made in Japan...

The Estoril 300 dial is to be matte. As for the 30 in bezel the SM300 had 2 different bezel fonts as you can see from Pakz photos and the ones I have shared.

Image from the web with the SM300 Royal Navy featuring date at 3. With a date window there is no 3 engraved in dial.

We should be able to post more renders Wednesday/Thursday. Factory is busy with HK fair. This is the latest render.

Leather may be an option but after the cold reception we have received with the strap on the Sea Dragon we are reassessing this. The bracelet cost us over 17 EUR wholesale price and didn't seem to win many hearts. As for the date option we are thinking it to be at 3 o'clock.

The Estoril 300m pays tribute to the original Omega SM300 Seamaster Royal Navy back from 1968. That model also features a big triangle on dial and it will be great for all lume aficcionados. If you look at the Omega it is considerably more cluttered than our version. Images from the web.

As for a date / no date we will offer both options during pre-order.

Reason to use BGW9 instead of radium alike lume is that it will be difficult to match hands, dial and bezel as those are made by 3 different suppliers. Therefore we have been strongly advised by factory to use BGW9. It will look well with this type of watch in my opinion and we are assured it...

You mean to engrave serial number between lugs? I suppose that won't be an issue with factory. However this would mean that serial number will be part of the case instead of case back.

yes, lume will be BGW9 so white in daylight and blue in darkness

As for the bezel side view we will make it as close as possible to the vintage Omega SM300 reference166.024 Photo is from my husbands watch. As for crystal will have a slightly distinct look as instead of acrylic we will use double domed sapphire. Also for lugs we will feature drilled lugs...

In terms of aesthetics and lume application that is the best option for the dial. We want to use very thick lume indexes (thicker and stronger than for instance as used in the Sea Hawk) and for it to work lume area has to be large enough to accommodate layers.

Yes, going to be fully lumed in bezel as for the dial do you think it is needed to have numerals lumed as well?

As with all watches it is impossible to please all. Idea of the Estoril 300m is to be as vintage looking as possible to we will keep bezel markers. A Blue version may be considered after designs are closer to a final stage.
