    Re: Prometheus Manta Ray - 3D renderings

    I have to say this is very intriguing. I like the 14.5mm height and if the size is 42-44mm range, this will be very versatile with almost limitless options between bracelet, bezel, strap changes. I hope the bezel system is robust and won't wear down with multiple changes.

    Carlos, I'm really liking the design elements on the case bezel and crown. I'm very interested to see what the bracelet is going to look like.

    Case Diameter? Lug width should be 24mm in my opinion. Big chunky watches need wide straps. Design looks sweet!

    Looks good to me, Carlos, but I'd be remiss if I didn't point out the strong resemblance to the ubiquitous Longio diver contract case. Even so, I much prefer how yours is shaping up.

    Carlos, tried to reply earlier, but, um, nevermind. Hey, that's some of the best 3D renderings I've seen. How you are going to get all of that under 15mm is going to be a sight to behold. I like that you are using an interchangeable bezel system too. Look forward to seeing the dial and bracelet set up on this one.

    This one looks really promising, really loving the initial renders.

    Get the bracelet and dial right and sign me up for one too!!

    Look forward to seeing more of the Manta Ray.........

    Re: Prometheus Manta Ray - 3D renderings

    Design is now finalized.

    Watch Specs:

    • water resistant to 1001 meters
    • case height with glass and bezel 14.50 mm
    • lug width 22 mm
    • flat sapphire with 3.50 mm height
    • 316L stainless steel case
    • stainless steel bracelet 316L
    • automatic helium release valve
    • 120 clicks unidirectional bezel with hex bolts easy swap system
    • Brushed finish
    • lug to lug width 52.60 mm
    • watch length 44 mm
    • automatic movement ETA 2824-2 or Sellita SW200
    • Swiss Made

    Some 3D renderings with bracelet






    At this stage we still do not have pricing details. This will come out after we receive quotation from factory as we have just finalized tech drawings.

    We are considering to launch a pre-reserve once we receive production order confirmation .

    Thanks,

    Re: Prometheus Manta Ray - 3D renderings

    Carlos, great looking bracelet! This one is looking VERY promising. Nice specs on this one too.

    What kind of clasp are you thinking on the bracelet?

    Has your designer done a 3D CAD drawing of the case with one of the dial designs dropped in? That would be something very interesting to see.

    Looking really good so far.

    Re: Prometheus Manta Ray - 3D renderings

    We will be looking at clasp options. Going the custom made route in clasp may not be an option as that would increase costs substantially.

    As for the 3D dial we do not have those at this stage as factory will have to make those anyway so we will come out with that on a later stage.

    Thanks Carlos.

    As far as clasps go, I like the security of the fold-over dive clasp. IMO, more secure than the double butterfly style clasp.

    What do you have in mind for the dial? I am hoping there will not be a 3, 6, 9 and 12 on it is all.

    Looks promising, good luck !

    Great work so far! I really like the style of the case with the bracelet, this could probably be my first Prometheus watch! Can't wait to see it with the dial in...

    Not clear at this time but red lume is known for not being strong so we are still undecided on having it lumed or not.
