thanks for the info guys ,i would prefer it if the watch could be hand wound as i like to change my watches often and it would be easier if it did .

is the mostrum the only new watch coming from orsa or are those others that were likened to the zodiac also on the horizon. i belive that it also had the same myota movment in it. was that work in progress redefined as the mostrum or is there another watch still to come

yellow sea angler

I think you misunderstood...while the Miyota is a non-hacking movement, it IS a hand windable movement!

Yeah in the end, I much prefer handwind over hacking if I had to pick one feature.  Non windable movements drive me nuts because I always think they will suddenly stop (even though they never do).  The non hacking, you can always do the pseudo-hack by applying reverse pressure.

The base Seiko movements (7S27/7S36) are not hacking and not hand-windable while the move up (6R15, etc) does both.  The Seiko rotoer on the 7Sxx movement are bi'directional, though, and do a superb job of auto winding. The same with the base Orient movements....I am not sure if Citizen (Miyota) has a hacking movement in their stable.

You can psuedo hack them by applying a bit of backward pressure... don't think it is recommended per the manufacturer.

Strangely enough though the Miyotas are considered bombproof, I have had problems with two... My Magico which arrived DOA and a skeletonized Harley Davidson Bulova for my Pops which was running about 3 hours fast a day. Both are better now!!



Pax,

8205 date only...8215 day and date:)

Outstanding watch! But I am little worried about the strap fixing, It doesnt look like standard one, will I be able to change straps without modification? Or is it just some kind of strap-to-case link used there? And another question - is there any chance for monstrum with black dial? coyote2.gif

P.S. And greetings from Poland to all of you, I am new at this forum and I i got here when I was looking for info about Orsa hand6.gif heheh

Kojiro...1st, Welcome to 3T...2nd, I'm not sure about the strap...but there will be an SS Bracelet option, 3rd, I'm sure that if the model is successful, Berg would consider other dials!

The only question that remains is:
When will the 3T LE be introduced?
