Baltic Shield specs, from the website, but height at 13.5. So this one is only 0.5mm shorter, it seems.

I may go 12mm thickness. 41mm and 20mm lugs are definite though. It will wear a tad smaller than the Baltic/Nordics.

That would be perfect

Thinner is definitely better.

I can't see the pics unfortunately but I would love 22mm lugs and 28mm dial...

The L2L will be approximately 48mm. Sorry Carlo, definitely doing 20mm on this one. I want a smaller, comfortable watch vs. the 43/44mm watches that seem to be dominating the market these days.

Awesome, looking forward to seeing the finished product

Very interested.

Prototype is in production. Hoping to have it in my hands for testing in June/July. I may do a pass around with a few of you.

Awesome can’t wait to see it

Hopefully it’s not too late for me to raise my opinion. Cross-post from the other thread:

Here is my 2cent for it: most of the discussion so far is about 2D design. For me, what is so attractive about vintage watches is their thin case profile. Look at the picture to see what I mean:

Original Benrus Type 1 case: see how thin the mid-case is, the seamless flow from bezel to crystal




And now some homages:

Mkii Paradive: thick thick case



Precista prs-18





The only who nailed the proportion is mkii blackwater, which is out of production for a long time and rare as hens teeth:



I hope to see the Hemlig in the future with this sexy original profile of the Benrus!

Super interested in this one Todd. I still love strapping on my grey dial Baltic Shield. Which reminds me, I need to get a grey canvast Haveston nato for it.

Thanks Corey. I wore my Anthracite Baltic this week and forgot just how much I love the dial color.

I really like the side view transition of the crystal dome flowing into the contour of the bezel on the Benrus Type 1.

Hi all,
I have opened a Pre-order email list for those interested. I will be sending out frequent updates on the project and will be offering special Pre-order pricing to members here as well. If you would like to be placed on the list just shoot me an email to: sales@karlskronawatch.com

Best,
Todd

I am considering a BOR bracelet as an option for the watch. Bead blasted finish to match the watch.

any prototype pics yet?
