Hello guys!
As some of you know I've been into watches for awhile now and its been a passion of mine. Having just graduated a couple months back I began to explore the idea of starting my own brand of watches and would love your opinions on the designs. Good/Bad all are welcome I'll like to hear which dial colors are your fave too!
Bronze was chosen for a case due to the unique patina which develops. I have always loved the patina coupled with a nicely made vintage leather strap which just makes it look antique
I know alot of you guys love the hardcore diver look but these are a tad common in the microbrand market Hence I decided to go for a sleeker design with internal diver bezel which is slightly less common. Hidden lugs also tend to accommodate puny asian wrists better(like mine hehe)
Steel is an option also if I get enough interest in them! Included a rendering just to get an idea of how it might look in steel
Some of the important specs are
-CuSn8 Bronze
-Sapphire crystal front and back
-Miyota 9015 movement with PVD rotor and logo (Newer 28800 bph movement with hacking and winding comparable to the venerable eta 2824)
-10ATM WR
-44mm diameter
-22mm lugs which should fit most thick leather straps
-316L SS Crown and caseback (to prevent contact with the skin)
-C3 Lume
Pricing wise it should be a tad below the $500 mark
PS. In case anyone's wondering what the brand is, its "Zelos" which is greek for zeal/enthusiasm which is the primary reason why I'm starting out in this
First up, the spec sheet
Here's the proposed rotor design
A shot in steel
This is another design I was considering, do chime in if you like this more!
