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.

I've asked the factory to use the same silver bezel but am waiting for the prototypes before deciding on whether to use white, black or lumed markers.

Every thread needs photos :)

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.

Great idea! Any changes to the WR rating with the sapphire crystal? (I'm guessing not, or y'all would have mentioned it.)

Thanks!
