    Picture Official Hexa K500 News Update - Progress Update 01/02/13

    Thanks to everyone for their support, feedback, and reservations over the last year as we have worked to bring the K500 to production. We recently received the prototype and are very pleased with the quality and feel of the K500. We have included some photos of the prototype below as well as a list of revisions for production and an image illustrating these changes.

    REVISIONS


    * Crown length will be extended 1.2mm to improve ease of use.
    * Hour and minute hands will be painted grey, per our original rendering.
    * Caseback will be customized with art, which will be revealed very soon :)
    * Second hand will be beefed up a little bit and have a larger lume area.
    * Date window's angle will be corrected so that it properly aligns with the date wheel.
    * Date wheel will be black with white numerals.
    * The lume will be of a higher quality on production models.
    * Bezel action will be slightly tighter.
    * Production models will have respectively matching crown finishes
