Here is the Sea viper with the classic oyster ss band . i decided again to put the crown at 4hr because its very comfortable . the bezel is coated with pvd and the numbers will be filled with paint. please give me your comments , i am still undecided on the dial color , since the watch will be ready in december , i was thinking more in a black dial with colored hands , the blue and orange dial as more '' summer '' look , what you guys think?

90% of my watches have a black dial so I do lean more to a Orange or Blue dial myself. :cool: But I do love the look of this watch Martin. Well done. I look forward to it. ;) |

Martin I like the blue and the orange dials. The black would look really awesome to. Either way it looks kewl. I would like to add a little comment on the style of the hands. I like the style of the hands from the (old) Angler. I borrowed a pic from John, real quick. I like the extra tip (orange) on the minute hand. I can go with the hands that you got, but the Angler hands are just way to kewl.  |

I think you have another winner. The only thing I don't like is the shape of the hour hand. I'm with Teddy and think maybe a version of the Angler hands would be a perfect fit. |

I'm with teddyhana on the hands and face. Those hands look to much like a watch with similar spelling to Monstrum. Definately a Blue face. Your watches are UNIQUE in character and design, change the hands and face. Will the outer bezel rotate and the inner be stationary? How about 13 thru 24 on a stationary inner bezel? Crown at 4 is perfect. Just my thoughts on the matter. Ron :cool: Last edited on Thu Jun 11th, 2009 12:18 am by ronsroom1 |

I must be odd because I really like the hands. I like the blue and orange dials too. For the black dial, were you thinking of having colored hands and dial markings? I.e., black dial with blue lume or orange lume hands? The shape of the case looks really nice too -- like it'd be very easy to wear. Definitely excited for this one! |

Nighthawk 3T WIS

Martin, I particularly like the shade of orange you are showing. The case and bracelet look great too. It took me a little while to realize that you've got two scales on the bezel - one to do countdown timing and one to keep track of a second time zone. Very clever and useful! I have to admit I'd like the bezel better if it were stainless, but that's a minor quibble. Looking forward to pricing and availability info. My Sea Angler may have a brother! Rgds, Steve |

Hi Berg! Nice one! If you decide to do a black faced alterrnative - why not think about that subtle black outer / gray inner portion dial variation you had on the auto Anglers - it was fabulous! Agree +1 on the SA hands, but I do understand that you are not trying to make another SA! Some Qs - 1. will there be a crown guard? 2. is the entire watch with the exception of the bezel, in brushed finish? 3. there seems to be a filler on the case between the lugs, and I reckon that is a ripper idea. See pics of Orient 300m saturation divers for an idea of how it looks - it is absolutely excellent and leaves minimal gap between strap and case. Can the filler be moved out a little? 4. (last Q!!) - will it have drilled lugs? I understand that you are pretty well developed on this one already, so there is a minimal chance of design suggestions being acted on - but I really like this new creation of yours and I give you big kudos for finally getting an SS bracelet! Cheers - IanM hand6.gif |

Hi Martin, Great watch !! will get one anyway !! About the hands :
About the bezel : this one is really great, that said as a diver watch (500m !!) I think :
About the case back : I see nothing on your pics !! hope you are just keeping the secret on the drawing !! don't forget it !!! December will be long to wait .... I was hoping to have it for august ... Thanks & Regards |

The blue dial is so nice I can't even imagine the SV dial to be in any other color. Too many black dials out there, IMHO. The hour hand is fine. The minute hand can benefit from some steroids. Kudos on the choice to go oyster bracelet.hand6.gif |

Paxman 3T WIS

You know me, Martin... I am all in for the orange dial. I agree with the others. There are many black dials out there and to me Orsa has been known for producing some sweet dial colours. I like that hands though I do agree the minutes hand could use a little more heft. However as it is now is super functional as it runs well into the chapter ring/flange. a lumed second had would be a nice touch too as Wallace has said. Lume on this baby should be blazing. I love it Martin! December is only six months away!!:D |

angelogrillas 3T WIS

Berg, Great Job, nice styling, I like the case design. I prefer the Blue dial with colored hands. I think the Black dial will detract from the "WOW Factor" you always strive to bring with each design. I really do not like the Oyster bracelet, I find it boring, even a jubilee would be nicer or a Watchadoo, but the switch can be done later. I don't know about the case finish, I would have to see real pictures of the difference between a polished and blasted version of the watch...maybe even a LE PVD (in the future). Anyways, hope I've helped. Can't wait until December, perfect Christmas present to myself. Angelo Miami, FL |

Orange dial should be first. Its a Diver, isnt it? I also have tons of black dials and dont really care much for blue so Im being selfish here. BTW, I use my dive watches more in the winter months on trips to the Islands than I do in the summer. I LIKE the hands but add lume to the seconds hand. Only thing Im a little ambivalent about on my lithium Sea Angler is the hands. Personal taste there I guess. Bracelet looks OK but is just a little boring. What kind of clasp does it use?

Martin -- I have a Yellow Monstrum which is an outstanding wonderful design, from the huge domed crystal, to the incredible detailed cast case back, to the beautiful / colorful retro dial. I would suggest that you build on the success of the Monstrum and carry over some of the highly successful design elements to the Sea Viper. The Sea Viper case is excellent, so too the 500 mm rating, crown location, SS band -- all great. But the watch as a whole looks like just another sports / diver. I don't see anything that sets this apart from or makes it an ORSA? Your ORSA blue Monstrum sold out and is highly sought after. ORSA green is beautiful. I just don't see any of the retro, colorful, creative ORSA energy in the drawings below. Again, I think that the case is excellent and is a great starting point for another ORSA classic. Hope I am not being too critical. Just the for the sake of discussion and feedback, try showing the Sea Viper with a modified blue or green ORSA dial and see what reaction you get from the 3T community.

I have to agree with the others. There are too many black dialed divers out there. The orange and blue sounds good to me. However, I would like to see a different color for the minute hand and/or the second hand as well. I think it would really make the dial awesome. As for the bracelet, I am not too keen on the oyster. Whatever you decide, make sure the bracelet is meaty. As thick as the case is a wimpy bracelet would not look right. Maybe offering an extra strap so we can change looks would be a nice touch. Congrats on a winner Berg, I'm definitely in for one of these!! |

I don't mean to be contrary, Jim, but Orsa has been there and done that. Why would Berg continue to make the same watch over and over. He could easily pull out the Sea Angler, Pro Diver and Monstrum and just sell the same watches over and over again. I for one am glad he has taken the time to create another watch for those of us who love what springs from the Orsa stable. You can always exercise your right to search out Monstrum and do not have to purchase the sea viper if it isn't to your liking. It seems to me the WIS community here at 3T has been craving something new from Orsa and the response has been predominantly positive as is fitting for this design imho. |

Hey guys, the monitor that I have during the day is absolutely horrid... and I couldn't see any of the details of the blue dial or the correct color... so now that I have a glare free hi-resolution, screen, with proper color settings, I can see that the blue Sea Viper is pretty darn cool. Trust me, I am not making this up, but earlier today, I could not see the blue numbers on the outside edge of the bezel, or the other fine details. So I take back what I said earlier. This is really very cool (below) and I love the shade of blue. Thanks, Jim  |

I really like the way this one is shaping up. My only comment would be to beef up the hour markers. Aside from the 12,3,6,9 markers, they seem to be very narrow and that means much less lume, and nobody wants that. |

Berg, Looks good so far. I already have a whole bunch of divers with the oyster bracelet, so I would like to see something a little more unique. Hopefully it will have lug screws to attach the bracelet/ straps. I think the hour markers should be a little thicker (wider-maybe chamfered?) to allow for more lume for us lume freaks out there. I really like the blue dial. I prefer hour and minute hands that are the same color. in this case both black. (as shown in the orange face dial) I do like to have crown guards. As you can see in the one picture it looks like it is going to be easy to snag the crown on all sorts of things. I see that you have 60 marked on the chapter ring. Any chance to add 15 30 and 45 indications as well? Other than these items I think the size, thickness, shape are all good. |

Well its one thing to be a desk diver but it seems to me Orsa's reputation is based on being a very usable diver. Red dials on divers scream faux diver or poseur imho and I would much rather make the conceit red negates a diver's usability factor. I'll echo what BRP (Jeff) said about orange being the best dial in terms of visibility as you can actually see your dial in Lake Michigan. ;) |

I absolutely agree and would not suggest a red only series of vipers. But I think a few red models would sell to the poseurs who don't care and like The looks of it. The diver will go for the orange version no doubt:) btw I went to lake Michigan in June for the first time and it rocks hand6.gif I loved it there and it as by far not only the largest but also the cleanest lake I have ever seen. Water so clear!! Was more like a sea;) considering going back there on vaca in the future |

hey everyone... im new here and i look forward to seeing the new Viper. it will be my first orsa if i get one. i must say im a huge fan of the Blue that Orsa uses. that color blue with a very simple dial and bezel would be great! combine that with the great caseback engraving i have seen here and this watch should be great. im coming from Rolex/Breitling/Marathon so i hope im pleased with this Orsa! |
