    Clemens......WOW! Another home run for H2O.

    You have really out done yourself on the new Orca series. These are absolutely fascinating, functional and gorgeous. Great engineering on the interchangeable system and the visual designs are remarkable. There seems to be a design there that should appeal to just about everyone. Very nice work.

    My cash is definitely waiting for a preorder for one of these.

    Very cool design and engineering! I'm not sure I understand how exactly it works. Are the cases interchangeable by the owner or is it pick and choose. If I wanted could I buy all five outer cases and be able to swap them out? Thanks.

    Looks phenomenal.

    Any insight on bracelet sizing? Early on I always thought 24mm was ideal but found in reality that it felt unreasonably large on the wrist, especially due to lack of taper. Would love to see a 22mm and/or tapering if 24mm is the current design. I know it may not be easy looking at braclet design but thought I'd throw it out there.

    At last a H2O I'll be able to wear. Yes, at 59mm L2L, there was no way I could pull it off with my 7'' wrist. This is the watch I was waiting from H20. Very ingenious system, again with great original designs to chose from. That makes a lot of choices, I'm not sure about which one i prefer, they all have something interesting! Will be following this very closely.

    Well done guys, love the direction you're taking!

    Getting ready Clemens. You've got a hit on your hands. Congrats.
    Great to see you back again in the H2O boat! It was always a pleasure to communicate with you during the last months!!!

    Until now, the only issue I had with H20 watches was their dial (too busy) and hands (too heavy). With these new elegant dial, I'm sold.

    Hope the price won't be too high...
    Since the case are very different in design and not only dedicated to dive watches there must be also new, less bold dial choices. Great to have met your taste!
    The classic dial/handset design for example was not planned in the beginning, but I had some requests in the German Watchlounge forum for less bold but classic disign dials and hands. At the end I loved that idea and you see the outcome right now. The MONO with the classic dial / hands might be a classic right from the start.

    Great to have met your taste as well, Dave!
    Even we have h2o=water in our company name I always thought H2O should not be limited to dive watches. This was the reason to start the development of this series and with our German engineer it was really a lot of fun, very fast and efficient. If at the end itīs also appreciated by you, the WUS, itīs the payment back for the hard work the last months. We canīt get it right for everyone, but I hope we have many different designs and a versatile system created.

    Of course I would be glad to see you in the H2O boat as well! Your images are always outstanding!

    Thank you! There will be tomorrow a video on OceanicTime showing the release and insertion of the inner/outer case system. My 8-core Xeon rendering machine is calculation since 3 days the images for the video! The inner case could be detached by the owner. There could be different inner cases inserted into the outer case or the same inner case could be used with different outer cases.

    The bracelet will be equipped with an much improved micro-adjustment clasp, as we improved the inside mechanism of the clasp and added MUCH perlage (is this the right English word for the round circled decorations?) decoration to the inside. You canīt see it, but you know it. Since all links are screwed with hex screws the adjustment is simple together with the micro-adjustment capabilities of the clasp. We will produce just one bracelet with 24mm-24mm, because otherwise the costs will be exploding for adding a second design. Sorry for that!

    I like the classic but you have left out the only feature I did like about the Kalmar; titanium! A bezel lock would be nice too.

    I'm interested depending on the end price-point.

    I may not agree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.
