C65 Trident Bronze SH21 Limited Edition
$2,110
A classic 1960s dive watch aesthetic, underpinned by the finest modern-day engineering; a uniquely patinating bronze case and bezel; and the technical achievement that is a hand-wound version of Calibre SH21, our in-house movement complete with 120 hours of chronometer-certified timekeeping. This 150-piece limited edition is a seamless cohesion of the old and new – and all in a case that will become unique to its wearer over time.
this is probably the closest i've come to liking the new branding, with the twin flags at 12. i like the watch, but not the price.

This looks very good. I’m still not spending $2k on one, though.

Great looking watch. Don't they "regularly" have 50% off sales

Looks very nice, but needs to be cheaper. Even the Oris Carl Brashear did not stick for me, so I won't plunge a lot of cash on a bronze watch.

it's that SH21 movement. the in-house thing pumps up the cost. and personally, i don't care enough about in-house movements (and less about theirs than others). i'll bet with a sellita it would be half that and more popular.
but at 150 pieces, i suspect it may sell out eventually.
they do have regular sales, both 30% off nearly new twice a year and occasionally 50% off.

I do like this one. Bronze case and blue dial work very well and case shape is good too.as others have said, price on this I think is steep,especially when Obris Morgan cranking out a bronze case for $600.
They are releasing steel case versions with black or blue dials which also look good and they are coming in at £645 or thereabouts
