New Halios models

Post by toxicavenger » Mon Dec 24, 2018 2:41 pm

New models: two models are currently in the prototyping stage, scheduled for release around April:

1) Fairwind: 39mm, rotating bezel with Sellita SW200 automatic movement and 20ATM water resistance. Intended as a sport watch for general timing purposes, it will feature a bi-directional ball-bearing bezel mechanism (i.e. not suitable for dive timing purposes).

2) Universa: 38mm, fixed bezel with Sellita SW216 handwinding movement. Designed as a field / general use watch with 10ATM water resistance.

Both models will be built on the same platform to maintain cohesion across the 2019 lineup. Both will be available with a stainless steel bracelet as an option.

I really hope he does a 12-hour bezel on the Fairwind as an option... ideally with 24 clicks and with better bezel teeth than on the Seaforth (which just looked like a square wave )

I want a reissue of the Roldorf Seaforth. Probably the one Seaforth I would buy.

Looks like a modern SM300 knock off.

That flat link bracelet has a lot of promise.
Trying not to let anything derail my goal of purchasing a BB58 in 2019...
