    OCEAN7 LM-5 Plans and Pictures

    Here is the first serious drawing. This watch uses a ceramic case with a 6497 manual wind movement. The hands look white in this drawing, but they are polished steel.

    Re: LM-5 Plans and Pictures

    These are concepts only. There is no plan to make them at this time. This is just to show what can be done with the TT718 movement.

    Updated Drawing

    Here the bezel is angled, not curved, and the movement is a 6498, which gives us seconds at 6:00 instead of 9:00. The only change to this will be to bevel the edges of the lugs. Open issues are whether to use a decorated 6498 with a display back. Also, maybe an orange second hand.

    Updated Concepts

    It is unlikely that the retrograde date will ever happen, but the power reserve is a very good possiblity if the watch sells well. The open escapement was removed.

    Update

    This may not show well in the drawing, but the lugs have been angled downward to better fit the wrist. Markers are now polished, with Luminova on the outer areas. The minute hand is slightly longer and narrower.
