News from Basel

Post by Graeme » Fri Apr 26, 2013 12:39 pm

Had a good day at Basel World today, and I got our new movement. It's an ETA 6498 decorated by Soprod. I'll have more to show over the next few days.

So Soprod took ETA movements and just decorated them, or is it a Soprod movement?

In any case, congrats and I'm looking forward to seeing it!

Here is a pic of the new case and the First Edition dial. I will take better ones when I get home and assemble everything.

This is a CAD image of what it will look like.
I am going to change the crown, it will be bigger to make it easier to wind and a bit nicer too. So please ignore this one.

It will be lighter and not as high as the Sea-01 so will sit lower and fit under shirt cuffs ;)

I am hoping to have them ready around June, I will update this as it changes ;)

I'm also only going making 100 of these First Editions. The dial and hand design will then change.

Very nice - really like the dial.

But of course you might have just cost yourself one Classic II sale with that post! ;)

Wowzers. I wanted to keep the SEA-01 LE, but it was a bit too big for me. This one downsized in thickness is really appealing.
