ceramic bezels, black, brown, or celadon blue dials with SuperLuminova
coated hands, and markers, stainless steel bracelet, leather, and rubber
straps, and ETA 2824-2 movement too.

I like the blue dial and the lollipop handset, but 45mm? I'm out.

Nice, but I agree. Nicer if it was 41mm

Even 43mm would have been better.

I’ve become very picky about micros lately, but I do like what Raven is doing.

I also agree 43 and thinner. It does seem Raven noticed the popularity of the pastel blue Halios.

The Venture is 42mm and wears well at that size; here it is alongside the U1.

Eta movements mus have been getting much cheaper recently, many micros getting it.
Swatch group quickly reversed course on their idiotic "we're not selling them to anyone" policy
Hemorrhaging money would do that to you. Too bad Richemont never bother to develop an entry level movement for their brands. It would have been a nice secondary income stream.

You know what would be cool guys?! Is if maybe they could have both a
45mm model, and then a 40mm, or so variation also. :thumbsup: Probably would
cost a ton to do that though I guess.

So neat seeing the size camparison of the Venture there also Matt ! Very cool !!! 8-)

Oh, and Andrea, and Jacob..was thinking we had been seeing ETA movements
a lot more lately. Thanks so much for shedding some light on the whole thing ! :salute:
