Congrats. What movement was used? Certified by German equivalent of COSC?

Congrats! Is this a HAQ or Automatic? I haven't been able to access their site ever since the launch. It's been extremely slow.

The movement is an ETA 2892-A2.

The watch is 40mm in diameter and 9.75mm height, has a 50 hour power reserve, and a water resistance of 10 bar.

It is an “officially tested chronometer according to German DIN 8319 standard.”

Sure takes its inspiration there, but when you look like a fantastic design, that can’t possibly be a bad thing. Beautiful piece.

Wow...striking, damn good looking watch! Congratulations!

hark - would you mind taking a clasp pic, please? Also, are the links secured with screws or pins? Thank you.

Links are secured by screws, and there are two smaller links on each side for a better fit. In the picture, one of the smaller links has been removed.

Here’s the clasp

hark -- thank you. I like it even more now because it shows they went through the thoughtfulness and expense of making it sturdy and secure. Again, congrats. Thanks to your post, I've begun looking into the diver model with two crowns. Always liked that look on the JLC Polaris, but those crowns don't screw down and they use pins.
