    Looks fantastic, I am assuming this is the 'I want to believe' watch discussed sometime ago with a special type of quartz movement.
    Can't wait for more news on this one!

    I was thinking along the lines of Batman - The Dark Knight. The bezel also reminds me a little of the Aquagraph. In other words, I like it!

    Of note, to my eyes, the bottom 2/3s looks exactly like an Oris TT Day/date.
    Of further note, that is not a criticism - my wife wears one!
    Keep those images coming,
    cheers,

    It will be limited by how many I can afford to get made. The mould for the ceramic case is 6000 euros. :(

    Eddie
    It looks like it'll be limited to some extent, as we know from other posts Eddie's got a lot of watches in development which all require financing upfront.

    Other information from the 'I want to believe thread':

    Hi-dome sapphire, 1000 metres, thermo-compensated superquartz, ceramic case, 955.652 used by Breitling.

    It's all very exciting!!

    I think that this suggestion has been made before but if a shortage of upfront cash might limit the number made, how about taking non-refundable deposits once the design has been finalized? I humbly note that that might allow more to be made and better economies of scale to be achieved (a good thing in light of the substantial fixed costs of the mould). Just a thought.

    Re: Dark image

    I want it!! Black ceramic, and a domed crystal, sounds like my perfect watch in the making :bounce:

    Silly me, I thought I was going to buy a carpet with my income tax refund.
    Of course, we will probably have to wait until next April to get one.
    Looking good Eddie.

    .
    Any specific reason the crown was moved from 4 to 3?

    At 3 it might require protection whereas at 4 it will not. Over the last few years it has become fashionable for tool-watches to have the crown at 4 so they don't mark the top of the wrist. (I am not fussed either way, just wondering about the move).

    By the way, very nice design Eddie.

    Crown at 4 looked wrong to my eyes but you decide.

    #21 please.

    I know this may not be a welcomed notion but I am not so sure about the integrated strap design. - I personally am all for the rubber strap but with conventional lug design that allows third party straps to be used as well. Other than that, it is a sure winner :thumbright:

    I believe this will prove to become a future classic. Well done Eddie.

    Regular straps can be fitted but they will have to be notched if you want a wider one.
