I'm curious how the WR went from the 500m on the original Moray to 1000m?
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.
