The Reise Resolute

Post by spring-diver » Thu Sep 03, 2020 12:20 pm

I saw this on FratelloWatches watch of the week.
It a Kickstarter campaign.

Design wise, there’s a lot to like with this one.

40.5mm x 46mm x 11.5mm titanium case w/ screw down crown.
AR Sapphire
20mm lugs
Seiko movement
1200Hv coating

The Alpine White is very tempting

I’ve never bought anything through Kickstarter before but this is pretty tempting.

It does look good. I would say no to the lumed dual. The indices look just like all the other dials. I believe that’s just a teal dial version behind it in the photo.

Edit: The dial does look lumed. :mrgreen:

If so, that photo is really misleading.

Good looking watches though .

I like it. Surprised they can deliver such a nicely finished design with a super hard coated titanium case for $400. Even matched the date wheels to the dial which is a nice touch.

Edit: appears the founders are the same Malaysian group that is behind Boldr. Probably have easy access to production and obviously have experience.

Not sure if these are really their first names.

Seems like a decent watch for the money.

My understanding is “Travis” was a designer for Boldr.

I’m usually not a fan of these micro/macro companies, but this watch has a lot going for it. Especially for the price point.

otherwise, nice effort :thumbsup:

You are so right Shannon, these have so much to like about them it's not even
funny ! :o :) So unique, and eye-catching, but they're done so well, that there
is a cool refined feeling happening. It's that controlled aggression thing sir ! 8-)

Actually love it. Thanks so so much for the news !!!
