H2O chrono on the horizon ?

[Axelay2003]

Thanks Danny. What's the L2L on the Kalmar 2 and also the new Chrono?

[Danny_T]

Thanks Danny. What's the L2L on the Kalmar 2 and also the new Chrono?

The chrono will be 51mm L2L and the kalmar 2 is 53mm

[toxicavenger]

Damn that is a good looking watch.

Those hands cover about 1/4 of each subdial.

I'm having hope that there will be a second handset option. Clemens seems to be playing with renders at the moment seeing that a black MOP popped up out of nowhere.

[Axelay2003]

Thanks Danny! He can shelve that MOP dial, lol.

Cool you tube vid released of the chrono

Quick update

Here are 3 handset options that Clemens is proposing. On the FB group he posted a poll where it looks that the 2 most popular ones will be the 2 choices available at pre order

I think handset 3 gets my vote


Handset 1




Handset 2




Handset 3

[mattcantwin]

Thanks for the updates, Danny.


I like the third option, too.

[Axelay2003]

Third option looks best.

[matt.wu]

Nice. Alternate hands look good.

Approx price??

Those hands cover about 1/4 of each subdial.

Better than the 3/4 covered by that stupid snowflake chronograph.

I would never buy this H2O, but at least it looks like a high quality watch that wasn't ordered off of Alibaba to then have a name slapped on it.

[Axelay2003]

I like the blue one with the black subdials. Danny can you post a picture of your watch with the correct blue?

If another handset is provided, I could see myself with one.

Yes sir !

Love this blue sandwhich dial.

Clemens puts out a quality product. Even his less expensive Helberg line is nicely finished.

[Danny_T]

Configurator is up and running so you can play with various combos. Price isnt set nor can you place the order just yet, he is working to get it fully up and running by tonight.

https://www.h2o-watch.com/pre-order/h2o ... 00000.html

Here's the 2 combos I like and want


glossy black dial with recessed subdials
rectangle inclined bezel
domed crystal
handset 3
top grade movt with display back





sunray blue dial with black recessed subdials
turbine bezel
flat crystal
handset 2
std grade movt with closed caseback

[Axelay2003]

I can't find the official final price.

[Danny_T]

I can't find the official final price.

Not completed yet. you can only play with the configurator right now. The final prices and being able to place an actual order will be hopefully be open by tonight.

Clemens is working on it as we speak.

***EDIT - PRICES ARE UP***

Thanks for all the info, Danny.


I see the strap incentive for full payment, but how much is the pre-order deposit?

[CGSshorty]

I think it is 40%, So it will vary based on your options.

H2O CHRONO DEVELOPMENT:
Using the world´s most advanced crown / pusher system with tested 750 bar water-resistance! There´s no better technical solution out there.

This is looking good. Similar DNA to the kalmar but different size (reduced) as per Clemens.

Case Diameter
Kalmar2 42.5mm
Kalmar Chrono 43.0mm

Lug to lug
Kalmar2 53.4mm
Kalmar Chrono 52.0mm

Height with dome
Kalmar2 15.4mm
Kalmar Chrono 17.4mm

I don't understand why Clemens would go out of his way to imply that we should be expecting something smaller, when it seems like it will wear larger?

Simple length x width x height has the chrono 11% larger
