H2O ORCA - Prototype Images

The ORCA Dive looks amazing....thanks for the pics!

Clemens, Absolutely awesome! They all look so good!

Of note:

- The domed crystal looks AMAZING!!!! Good God, man, I just love it! Very, very cool.

- I like how the indices (on the grey dial) are chrome-surrounded, that beautifully finishes the look! Like Dave pointed out, the renderings were lovely, but the real-life proto's are so much more!

- Have you eliminated the HRV with the Orca? Obviously with the inner/outer case system, it would be hidden from sight, and since the inner-case is hidden is these photos, hard to know.


Again, my friend, just beautiful.

Hi clemens,

First of all the rederings were perfect but the watches in reallife are way way BETTER!!!!!!...
In the begining i was all over the orca diver but now the orca dress gets my attention to. I ddnt like bezel number 2 on the redering but now in reallife i see that the sawteeth are brushed and not polished like i thought they did. That the bezel is brushed is such a homerun in my book.
Can you by any chance get a picture of the orca diver with bezel 1 with black saphire inlay with dail number 3.

I just think to order the diver and dress watch if i can't decide . This is such a advantage of this product....you can swap when you want.
just a question about the bezels on the cases.... Can we swap theme by ourself???...so when i bought another bezel in the near future i can put this on?.

BTW, are you still looking at a late fall release?

Looking sharp, Clemens. Very strong work. Can't wait to take delivery.

MAN o MAN !!

With these prototype images, I KNOW I made the right choices!! The dive with SS bezel, grey dial is just plain SICK. Only diff I got on mine the orange minute hand and I think that is the way to go (if I do say so myself...lol). The SS bezel is even better in person than the renderings! Well done Clemens! Great news to hear the date wheel will be matching grey with the dial.

The pic of the domed crystal.....AWE-SOME ! The dive looks perfecto with the dome.

The Orca dress -- what a nice contrast to the dive and again, sapphire bezel inlay and that super hot dial in image #10....I'm a happy camper!

So glad I got 2 complete ORCA watches and now the options are really endless as to what I can do with both of them by swapping bezels, dial cases, etc with each other. H20 is officially my fav micro brand with what will be 4 in my stable come Sept (2 Kalmar and 2 Orca).

I am an offical H20 fanboy....LOL

Clemens - I want a t-shirt with BGW9 lumed wave logo on the back ;)

I also like the domed glas, but all inner cases were assembled with the flat glass and had to get a tool for my knee lever press first, because otherwise the press would vaporized the sapphire glass due to its high power (10000kg max. pressure). Especially on the VINTAGE and MONO it looks perfect.
The HEV is canceled due to the specific inner case construction. The inner case wall has different thickness and shape which makes it impossible to include an HEV. I´m personally not a fan of these HEVs as you ONLY require them when you´re a chamber saturation diver. On the other hand the HEV is an additional hole which may have potential to leak at one time. Of course it might be also a design element.

I will shoot the image for you and will post here tomorrow.
We will have to make our own experiences with swapping the bezels before being able to answer your question.

Yes, that´s the plan.

That´s so true! I have to open a fan area on my HP for you.
I´m sure you will be satisfied with your package!
