I would like to add to the renderings a FIRST impression of our bracelet clasp and it´s decoration. This not the final clasp as we will get bevelling on the clasp sides and also some internal improvements of the mechanism.

- Hardened SS 316L with micro-adjustment / 24mm
- Clasp will be brushed outside and nearly fully decorated with perlage from the inside
- Improved mechanism to prevent the clasp from unwanted opening
- The clasp sides will be bevelled to be weared more comfortably

This clasp is a custom and improved version for H2O only.

Below you could get a first impression of the perlage of the clasp inside.
Important: This is a pure sample to demonstrate the perlage and without the bevelling on the sides!

We have published today two new 360° turntable videos of the H2O ORCA DIVE and H2O ORCA CLASSIC case on Oceanictime. The video resolution could be raised up to 720p to see more details. :-)

I hope you like what you see! :-)

Today we received 20 strap samples for our H2O ORCA series.

The leather was purchased by myself in Hamburg, Germany, after more than 4 hours of touching hundreds or even thousands of different calf skins. Fortunately the biggest leather skin wholesaler is just 50 km away from our office and touching the leather makes a big difference instead of just comparing images.

Unfortunately the stud is not as I was planning. It should have been a more round vintage version, stamped wave and etched to look at least a 100 years old. We are far away from this goal. Anyway, this might get changed if we should decide to go with a stud attached version.

Two leather skins - the dark brown vintage/used leather strap and the light brown leather strap - can´t be used as a standard strap as their skins were way too small!
But as we are thinking about an incentive for returning customers from the H2O Kalmar pre-order they might go into production as well.


Let´s show the straps!

Pretty nice straps you got there... I respect the fact that H20 not only sells you a high quality piece, but that it also sends a whole lot of extra goodies there. I know this one will be yet another winnerThumbsUp02.gifThumbsUp02.gifThumbsUp02.gif

The H2O ORCA hardware has been finalized now: The H2O ORCA Buckle

This buckle was the hardest nut in the whole H2O ORCA construction. In result the buckle has become extremely heavy, strong and unique, but comfortably to wear.

Thank you for all your comment regarding the H2O ORCA buckle! :-)

Here comes something new and often requested: The SS inlays and the flat sapphire front glass

BEZEL INLAY:
The H2O ORCA series will be offered not only with sapphire bezel inlays, but also with the more robust stainless steel inlays. All inlays are available with the 15sec. or 60sec style. Below I have rendered the H2O ORCA DIVE with the 15sec. SS bezel. Images of the 60sec. inlay will follow later today.

FLAT SAPPHIRE FRONT CRYSTAL:
The images below shows the flat sapphire front crystal.

The first images shows also the 3-dimensional sandwich dial 2.
