New model: Ocean Two

[Neleus Orpheus]

Ordered one this morning and got the confirmation email. Phoned my bank to arrange the bank to bank transfer. Now I just have to cross my fingers and hope for the best. I have never been through a purchasing procedure like this before so I am feeling a bit anxious!

Anxiety levels falling by 50%! I got an email saying the payment has been recieved and the watch should be shipped soon!

Interesting. Personally I don't see the O2 as a homage to the S500: The designs are just too dissimilar overall in my view.

The only similarity is in the lume section on the bezel. Beyond that (i.e. case shape, crown, crown protectors, dial, hands, date), they are too different in my opinion for one to be a homage of the other.

For me homage has a specific meaning for watches. It means the maker has tried to replicate an iconic watch as much as possible without trying to deceive the owner or others the it is the watch in question. The OVM is a good example of this.

While you could argue that the ocean 2 has been influenced by the Bremont S500 or IWC Aquatimer it is definitely not an homage.

@Triton
For a noob like me, could you provide some more info on specifically witch Sinn strap I should look for, and how I can purchase the butterfly clasp?

I thought the O2 looked amazing on rubber in that Facebook skiing photo, and would love to replicate it.
Thanks
Andy

I believe Triton is referring to the Sinn U1 silicon strap that is 22mm lug width too. However, do note that the Sinn logo pops on the silicon strap. Google for more results.

Great thanks, good start.
I'm guessing that the pic in FB is the official rubber strap that has been sidelined for the time being. If that's the case in happy to wait.

Is there a 22mm Steinhart deployment clasp for leather straps that's available for purchase separately?

Lucky! Steinhart sent me my tracking info too! But it's for my MEVA strap that I put in AFTER my O2. I wonder if they're going backwards down the list.... :P

There is! Search the forum, I just read about that yesterday. It's not an item listed but there is a deployant clasp for 22 leather straps

So to update, I never received a response to my email from yesterday. I went back on their web site last night and tried to order the watch again. Same result, no confirmation or link to Paypal. I sent another email last night and another this morning, still no reply. Now I checked their web site again and see that they are out of stock. Great!
