Hello again :-)

I have told you, that a lot of things will happened this year, havn't I ;-) ?


Well, this is next one ofthem :-)


We were targeting this model at fall of 2012, but had some troubles with it. Now it is finally ready, and the first pieces will be shipped to the people who already preordered them back in December.


So, let the photos talk ;-)

Otago line is our second generation diver's watch, that follows Dzik&Sokol. Its main thema is a Joseph Conrad, one of the most famous polish novelists ever. Its marinistic novels gained an extream popularity, especially as he was publishing mostly in English. A sail ship he commanded, the Otago bark, is the story closed to the hearts to all sailors&people who enjoy marinistic novels.

The case is made with very popular last years tonnau convention, however we decided not to push for a fancy oversized style. The case keeps a 42 mm without a crown dimension, same time the case is accompanied with big, 9 mm diameter crown and tall and thick, bi-directional bezel.

The case is same that was used in a LE FOKA model, however the colour pattern is different.

Here you have them all :

The dials are layered, with upper outer ring of different colour, and applied polished steel indexes with luminous.

It gives a great stereoscopic effect to the watch, and I hope that all watch enthusiasts will appreciate it :-)
