I like the dart version a lot. From a date standpoint I think I would like the date at 6 so it doesn't look so lost or no date. Also a brown dial would rock. I would make the dart markers a bit shorter too. Overall it's a winner though.

We can discuss colors after the dial designs are complete, but I think the bronze case will not look good with colored dials, we can use the new dial designs in the steel case and make them blue or orange or have a few colors or styles. I'm curious how the WR went from the 500m on the original Moray to 1000m?

I agree with Oscar, a nice brown dial would be cool with the bronze case, other than that i think the only other option that would look right is black.

Thanks for bringing this up... Our idea was to make the steel divers 1000m but I talked to Ralf after making this drawing and we still need to test the bronze case to see if it is possible, so the bronze may move back to 500m I not sure at this point. I had put it on the dials for the steel case and didn't remove it for the bronze drawing because I thought both would be 1000m. The way to get the steel Moray from 500 meters to 1000 meters is to increase the thickness of the case back. if you own a Sea Devil and a Moray, you can see the Sea Devil case back is thicker than the Moray. You can also increase the thickness of the crystal to increase WR. at 500m and 1000m it is not really about "water" resistance, it is about pressure resistance and to have the watch hold up under that pressure, it is all about steel and crystal thickness. To increase WR to 1000m will mean the Moray 2 will be about 1.5mm higher than the Moray 1. Last edited on Thu May 13th, 2010 02:42 pm by Steve Laughlin |

Interesting Steve. Thanks! Can the crystal and case back from the Moray 2 (when available) be retrofitted to the originals?

Beautiful watch Steve, and I think also my favorite of all the Benarus dials--regardless of the model. This will be very tempting... Steve Laughlin wrote: I think those are all very good ideas, and I like the way they look...

I came here looking for info on the next Moray and this talk of a bronze Moray got me so excited I had to register just to add my enthusiasm to this project. I've been trying to find a bronze cased watch for some time now and this is the perfect watch for such a case. I agree that a black dial would be the best, but I think there are a couple other colors that may be nice, too. An ivory colored dial would complement the bronze nicely. Another interesting option would be mother of pearl. The Bathys Aquaculture with the Rose Ti PVD coating was a nice color combo that would have a similar look. (I had to give up my Moray a while back and I can't wait to get another one when the opportunity arises! Now that I am registered, I will be spending a lot more time tracking the progress of this one!!)

Steve...hope you don't mind...was playing with your awesome new bronze Moray dial, and shortened the dart length to about half just to help visualize. This is what it looked like...forgive my poor photo editing abilities. Just something to consider in a sea of cool dials.

I don't think it would be a good idea, the Moray 2 is not being machined at the factory that made the Moray 1 and it would be very unlikely that the threading and specs would be exact as the first one.

I will also work up the brown dial and bring in the original dart dial, so there would be a choice between 2 dials and 2 colors.
