Yeay! :)
It's just a matter of time...
A real teaser . . .
0:09 in you can pause and get a tiny glimpse! :laugh:
I love how at 0:13 it looks like he's already landed. :D
Sounds interesting anyway, not that I'll be buying it.
From their website.
April 24th apparently (and am #emergency2 hash tag for twitterers)
They will no doubt have added a number of aesthetically unpleasing new design elements to it, e.g. pinstripes and circles/squares texturing on the dial, crazily large numbers and general clutter/busyness, a bezel featuring a pointless scale (i.e. degrees instead of minutes), more shiny bling and less luminous paint, horrible fonts, weird antique style chapter ring and an unnecessarily huge case. All of which will give the watch an identity crisis - part practical, part fashion victim, part dress watch.
Maybe I'm being too cynical but they are increasingly putting out real dogs dinners these days, as are many other top brands. My prediction is that the new model will have a few features that people really want but will leave people wishing that they had just added them to the old classy, understated design.
I don't think I could ever own one of these, or the emergency 1. I'd have to pull the bloody thing out!!!!

First impression - ugly.
Only 5 bar water resistance.
Not sure about backlight. It's not mentioned on the website
I love it, especially with the black dial, but as above, the WR (and possibly size) kills it for me at the moment.
Bloody hell thats a big-un!

I do like that and 50M WR isn't that bad. I know I will never go down that deep. I think when I dived once I went to 12 metres and that was deep enough for me.

Gulp how much
The writing design on the bezel is appalling. The W looks like some lettering from The Goodies.
The emergency battery is rechargeable, the whole watch slots into a charging station ( it has battery contacts on the side of the case) and every two months the emergency battery will require recharging. It is also massive, I've just got back from Basel and had a look at it behind closed doors and while it is very well made it won't be for everybody.

£12,000 and 51mm.
Is it aimed solely at oversized, steroid munching oligarchs with a penchant for potholing?

Here's one off the wrist:
...but what do I know; I don't even like watches!
Only shallow potholing, though.
Its over priced, oversized and over the top.
The emergency part may be legitimate of you fly or sail places where noone else knows where you are, but even a red arrows pilot can't crash without 8 others knowing exactly where he or she is!
But daft and 12k is just silly.
Its overkill. Such pity.
