Any owners out there? Please share your pics/experiences! Can’t find a single thread about these on OF.

Been a fan of these for a while. Love the freshness of their palettes, the design is right up my (and most chrono-holics') alley, and the price is in ‘can’t-go-wrong’ territory. Every time I saw them for sale (twice) they sold out within 10s or something ridiculous … and then they released 'Strawberries and Cream'…which was limited to pre-order for one week only (unlike all other sales which appear in small batches of either 50 (Fratello) or 500) in August 2022, and then never to be made again. End of September 2022 they opened orders for the regular collection for a few hours (6 IIRC). I look forward to following this brand.

The Regular Collection

Powered by a manual winding Seagull ST-1901 which is based off of a Venus 175, which has a column wheel.

I was interested in the watermelon which is almost too funky for me, then the eggplant came along. I'm tired of LEs you just can't have...and that's really the only color option I want.

It's not an important enough watch to pay a premium for IMO.

I was part of their April 2022 order, and I’m awaiting a Desert Sky version. I’m psyched; hand wound, cool dial textures, exhibition case back…I just wish the dials didn’t have Bicompax on them.

Try watchrecon. They tend to be sold more on forums including Reddit. But they're low volume so yeah, they won't pop up much.

Also note the search term might give you issues if people use a zero in d0g or if they use a letter o.

I own the eggplant one. It's pretty, the color is striking and I like the dial texture. The case is a simple slab-sided can. The display back Seagull movement is beautiful, particularly for people who aren't watch sophisticates. Chrono movement works fine. Legibility is weak. I'm pleased I own it and like to wear it, but it's not a daily.

Bravo gentlemen ... a fabulous and novel idea ... if only other bigger brands would do the same (but have them in regular production) (Finally, a Patek worth talking about) 😀

Hats off to this.

I’m now an owner, so can comment.

Not the easiest to wind (crown could have been thicker by a millimeter (not diameter)) … watch overall should have been a millimeter or 3 thinner … but this does not detract from the overall enjoyment I am having. I’m glad I pulled the trigger, it really is a beautiful and fun watch …

Please excuse the crappy pics - it’s the darkest part of winter where there is no sun …

Not a single owner on OF 😲 I guess, unlike Rolex, these are truly scarce 😀

Perhaps most OF regulars don’t get it on with Chinese watches? Hence no resounding response.

Perhaps. But their Chinese-everything-else-that-they-are-ok-with (including a large percentage of parts and components in their Swiss watches) leads me to think that’s not the case , or if it is, it shouldn’t be. But that’s digressing…

It’s nice. I was on a notification list for one of their watches in September 2021 but bought my Speedmaster instead. They look nice but the Speedy was enough to satisfy me (and depleted my watch money) I would have tried to buy a blue one.

I sincerely hope your Speedy did not require a service…as that’s what one of these costs (at least where I live) 😀

I'm waiting for mine since I'm in the last batch. Really curious to have it.
Btw, nice bracelet choice. Looks perfect!👍

I picked up a pre-order card at the World Time UK Watch Fair yesterday and have ordered myself the Desert Sky Chronograph. I also like the field watches 002 series) but can’t justify the prices for what they are.

Lots of hype around the brand, and being a UK based company I am pleased to support them. I like their slightly quirky design aesthetic.
