    LM-3 V2 First Sample Pictures!!

    Minor changes will be made to the dial. The case is ready to go.

    WR is 125atm, an auto HeV is on the left side of the case. Diameter is 42mm. Black or full lume dial. Strap on the sample is just temporary.

    Mesh bracelet and a rubber strap will probably be included. Price will be aggressive.

    Looks fantastic! One question...It appears that the crown is not fully screwed in on the sample. Is that correct?

    This will look very good on a mesh bracelet.

    Love that case. One question: Is the 42mm for the case [excluding crown] or for the bezel?

    The crown is not screwed in all the way in the picture.

    The case diameter is 42mm excluding the crown, but since it is partially recessed, it won't add much to the diameter.

    We should have them in March, possibly earlier. I don't see any reason for the project to slip beyond that time frame.

    Here's a black dial picture. The black area of the hands will be adjusted so it is the same length on all the minute and second hands.

    That looks very nice. I'm glad that you decided to go with a mix of polished and brushed surfaces. Is the lug spacing 22mm or 24mm? I'm guessing 22mm since you had it on an AirNautic leather strap and there is a new 22mm sport strap coming.

    The black dial looks much better in the photos (obviously not by Mitch if I may be so bold) than it did in the drawings. I'm not happy about that as I'd just about decided on the lume dial, hmmmm. Hopefully the bezel will be lined up on the final version photos (is it 60 or 120 Mitch?).

    Aggressive pricing will put this one in rare company. The non-issued watches are nearly 2K now and the issued ones bring 25-50% more. I won't even talk about the astronomic price of the re-issue

    Marcin, lugs will be 22mm (a first for an O7 watch?).

    Looking sharp! I'm on board for a black dial.

    We have a 22mm version of our popular Sport Strap in production. They should get here very soon, probably by the end of this month.

    Bezel inserts are aluminum. They will be installed after the watch is fully assembled so that alignment will be perfect.

    Thanks for the comments and enthusiasm!

    I'm with you there Colin except that I will have to choose between the black dial LM-3 V2 and the domed sapphire. That black dial looks much better in the photo especially with applied hour markers.

    With the black area adjusted, the applied markers and that perfect date window this will be as good as it gets. Especially so when outfitted with a C.O.S.C. movement.

    Another fantastic watch from the designers @ OCEAN7.
    Is this different than the "kon tiki" homage ?
