H2O ORCA - THINNER - SHORTER - HARDER

Copy, thank you BJD.

Are all the dials going to be sandwich dials? The renderings look like applied markers.

Maybe I expressed wrongly: Let´s say they are 3D dials. Normally the standard 2824 dials are 0.40mm in thichness. We constructed the watch case to be able to use dials with 0.80mm thickness. Maybe the following images from my CAD program show more clearly the 3D profile of the dials. Of course the color is not correct in the CAD files:

When will we know the price on this bad boy?

We will inform the pricing the the maybe more important package content when we start the pre-order in Mid of April.

Clemens - I know time lines often change but what is your approximate expectation from Mid April pre-order to prototype and more importantly final production?

As usual I target to deliver the watches on time, of course. For the H2O ORCA the target is Spetember 2012. The hardening procedure is very time consuming as it will take up to two weeks to complete this process.

But most important: The SWISS ETA 2824-2 movement supply is ensured!

I have got several requests for the exact length/height of the outer cases.

H2O ORCA DIVE: 54.50mm /13.50mm (flat sapphire glass ) and 15.50mm height (double domed sapphire glass)
H2O ORCA CLASSIC: 54.00mm /13.50mm (flat sapphire glass ) and 15.50mm height (double domed sapphire glass)
H2O ORCA DRESS: 53.20mm /13.50mm (flat sapphire glass ) and 15.50mm height (double domed sapphire glass)
H2O ORCA VINTAGE: 54.00mm /13.50mm (flat sapphire glass ) and 15.50mm height (double domed sapphire glass)
H2O ORCA MONO: 53.05mm /13.90mm (flat sapphire glass ) and 15.50mm height (double domed sapphire glass)

Have a great Sunday!

Thanks for the info Clemens....I am torn between the Orca and a Black DLC Kalmar with a Black Mother of pearl dial...but of course dummy me missed your coupon...it is a tough choice

As far as I could see the Kalmar DLC are also more or less sold out! But there will be soon a special bead-blastered edition in April, but very limited as usual. Maybe 10 watches in total. Those were just a trial and I´m not sure they will make it into a larger series later. Let´s continue the Kalmar talk in the Kalmar thread, please!

I can't stop looking at this thread, the Orca will be the 'LEGO' of watches..Win!

Hi clemens
did you have a rendering of the profile of the double domed glass compared to the flat ?
just for info on the choice.
thanks

Hi Alessio,

Currently I´m rendering a 360° video of the MONO case, but I will take about one more day to complete. As we may have some new infos on Oceanictime on this Thursday I will include such flat sapphire glass renderings as well.

Greetings to Italy!

Clemens when do you expect to have the first prototype built and will it be built prior to pre orders being taken.....thanks
