A small run of new Bundeswehr watches will be produced and should be ready in May 2017. There will be some differences from the WUS Edition and these include:
1) Double curved sapphire crystal (15.3mm thick with highest point at centre of crystal)
2) 43mm friction-turning bezel with 42mm single piece case
3) Slightly different dial text
4) Silver or black bezel
5) Display or solid case back
The pre-order price is US$370 plus shipping and a US$200 deposit would be appreciated to reserve your watch. Please send me an email (etse249@gmail.com) if you are interested.
EDIT: Added side view

Well done, this is a really nice 2.0 version of the Bund project, I like that new bezel and the sapphire crystal is going to be a welcome upgrade for many.

One more question... Will the "silver" bezels on this new run look like the "ghost bezels" that have received such positive response in the picture thread, or will they have a more shiny, brushed finish?
Hi Ed, are these still available? How can i place an order?
Thnks in advance!
Bytheway, i couldn't find any info about the movement. Please some info is much appreciated[emoji120]
I like this bezel with white triangle and no lume pip. I wish this was also acrylic glass like the WUS one, but I put my deposit down anyway. It is too good looking to pass up.
Okay, one final question (until I think of another one!)... Do you think it might be possible for people to pay for the extra case/bezel unit that the watch screws into for those who want both looks? Judging from other threads, it seems it would be rather easy to swap between the two.
The new watch has a modified single piece case to fit the sapphire crystal so you will need to remove the whole movement, hands and pushers to change the case. Unlike the WUS edition where the movement module could be changed by unscrewing it.
I'm waiting for the prototype dials and watches. Hopefully they'll be ready in late February as the factories will be closed for close to a month for Chinese New Year.
Any chance to buy the silver bezel for the first edition of the bundeswehr?
