As the hardened mineral glass replaced the plexi and the sapphire crystal replaced the mineral on most productions...
People want it, watch-makers are coming with it.
There's also a high demand for high water-resistance cases lately and it shows also on the market.
All in all to say that the Viking model may have combined features that other micro-brands don't offer right now(I didn't check that...) but it's guaranteed to come very soon at not so high price.
Or how the huge Hong-Kong factories would survive in front of mondial technology advance and rushing market demand?
Now there's a bunch of ceramic bezels cheapos on the market but I didn't considerate them because of them lower water-resistance rate...
That said, I'm proud to break out my 3000th post!well said Will,and Congrats on 3000 posts!
...didn't the Swiss Made,Edox Class1 have a full ceramic bezel that was lumed?...it is also a killer design imo...

Sh't up Oscar, I'm so f*ck'n green that I ordered it for my friend and not MYSELF!!! Yes, the bezel is ceramic: FULL ceramic...Not only the insert side but actually a full bock of ceramic with lume on the top.
I can't believe that it was the last one for 1000 buks, now each time I open my safe and see it, I cry!
He better get married very fast before I decide to keep it for my own face

And thanks! Been a pleasure to be there those last years and I'm definitly keeping around
