H2O ORCA - THINNER - SHORTER - HARDER

[roo7]

Love to see a 3d view of the mono case !

[H2O Watch]

It took 4 days to render 2 videos of the MONO case on an 8-core Xeon machine!

It may be published tomorrow here and on Oceanictime.

Clemens is hooking me up with a DLC Kalmar so I can get a temporary H2O fix ! No way I was going to make it till Sept lol goin with the neon orange dial and black hands.

Ok, at this point I think I have narrowed it down to one case and two different dial/movement modules.

-Diver case/bracelet
-Classic & Dress dial modules.

I am very interested to see the mechanical engineering design of the dial module connection into the case.

I thought I had it narrowed down to the "Vintage" case (love that no crown guard design and cyclone bezel) with classic dial but now the "Dive" watch is drawing my attention...though the Vintage is still #1 for me.

Choice#1
Vintage case, bezel and bezel inlay

Classic Dial



Choice#2:
Dive case, bezel, bezel inlay and dial

I couldnīt had explained that better!



The lug width of all H2O watches, the ORCA and Kalmar series, is 24mm.

Great! I guess I am lucky since I am set on the dress case/dial. Although I could also see getting a extra Vintage case.

Love everything about the Classic... I'm even thinking about selling my Sinn U1 for it. This is how cool it is! oO

I scanned but did not see it...Clemens what grade mov't is going into these beauties...standard, elabore? any shock protection?

thanks

As of right now this thread has 5321 hits! I think 1000 of them are mine.

I don't know about the rest of you guys but I am having a tough time deciding on which case and dial combo to settle on. Just when I think I know which one, one of the others starts looking just as good.

Clemens, you know you have something REALLY good when there are so many good choices.

Thank you! Itīs just a week I started the thread and we are hitting 6000 views! Incredible!!! What would happen we start to deliver the watches???? Iīm quite sure we will hit the 100K mark at the end of the year with this thread. That would be 20K views for you, Dave!

.... Legoing this Orca! Stan

We were looking for a reliable connection and push-pins didnīt convince us for a reliable, long lasting connection. Therefore we went for four special hex screws to connect the inner and outer case. This will connect bombproof.
Btw, the gap between the inner and outer case is so small (0.05mm) that you maybe not even have to fix the screws, when you carefully insert the inner case for a change in a second. The thick crown tube is preventing the inner case from turning around in the outer case.

The movement selection is a very sensitive subject. We are using the standard 2824-2 version with a custom rotor and covered with Super-LumiNova to glow in the night. Itīs important to have secure supply of the SWISS ETA 2824 movements as we saw lately with several other watch introductions. Our experience with the standard 2824-2 is VERY good as most of them running even in the chronometer specs.
