How hard is it to keep the case bright and clean looking? I assume they start going dull and patinated almost straight away?

You can put a coat of wax on it that will prevent oxidation.

Gnomon email says 127 out of 200 sold in 12 hours. These will probably sell out soon.

I have the blue fume and love how it hugs my small wrist.

Of the two, I would choose the green dial. I already have a green dial Ennebi bronze, but is not under the cuff type of timepiece. I also don't know if I can achieve the same patina quality that Ennebi did.

I also want the Green Dial Oris 42mm and would be my go to under the cuff timepiece, so this Evant green dial bronze may be a pass for me.

I'm trying hard to justify not getting this, lol.

I caved. Ordered the black. Figure if I don't like it I should easily flip it as fast as they are selling. Seems like a nice piece. 2824 movement sealed it for me.

I ordered black. I like the blue on a shiznet blue/orange nato.

Here is Anders' reply with regards to the lug hole position. I agree with him too.


"The holes are like on the Fume Blue because there has been no complain from Fume Blue customers and it is the best balance between aesthetics and wearing comfort."

The lug holes on the fume blue are ok to me.

I wore it all day.

I’m not surprised. That’s a good looking watch.

It's a super unique style and even though it's inspired by that old Breguet diver, it really stands out amongst all the sub lookalikes. If I liked bronze i would have jumped on this as well. It looks great. I really liked the black SS one I had other than the lugs holes, which seem to be corrected.
