That is a great range, should keep everyone happy.
I think it is the yellow for me, such a sunny, happy colour (in contrast to the rest of my collection's dials).
I take it that there will not be another round of prototypes to check the new colours, this will go straight to production?
I can see no other changes, apart from perhaps the bezel font being a little thicker, and maybe a higher dome crystal?
To clarify, the captions indicate polished black indices and hands on the yellow and orange dials. Is that the case, in preference to silver? The original prototypes looked silver?

Love the logo on the crown!

Looking good - I'm still thinking Black, though.

Much improved colours Eddie. The previous colours were great, just not enough differentiation.
The blue would be my pick.
Omega has shown that an orange bezel on a black dial are a working combination... :panda:
My birthday is mid June so that’s me sorted [emoji2957]
I need some colour so yellow or Orange.
Yellow. Or black. Or blue / yellow. Or all three.

Why not supply each watch with 4 or 5 different coloured bezel inserts?
Or would that cause warranty hassles for Eddie with "My bezel isn't working" issues?
Really like the update on the crown.
Was originally looking towards they blue but with the new colours maybe the orange or yellow, I'm sure once the real photos are done it will finalize my decision.
As others have said would be nice to have a hit of colour in the collection.
Chris.

They look great
Yellow for me, whack it on a tropic and you have the perfect summer watch.
I'll struggle not to pick up a yellow myself I think, though a number of them really appeal to me.
Preferred the silver hands though.
Black (traditional) for me. Hopefully I remember when the store opens!

They look awesome. Another yellow with blue bezel here, please :hello:
Are these the final combinations?
I’d like an orange dial with black bezel?

All nice those, yellow/blue or orange stand out for me. Looking forward to seeing the revised colours when they come available.
Nice watch too bad it's not perfect it needs a bezel pip!
Watch looks great. Looks like I’m waking up early in California for this one.
That is bloody stunning.
Great job.
Anybody like to hazard a guess as to the likely price of these?
Good to have another timetable for the Caribbean - definite classic black for me. Had originally planned a yellow too but will have to wait and see what those shiny black indices and especially the black hands look like, assuming there will be another set of prototypes. Not sure how good that will look with a vintage hands shape but they work well enough on the Doxa Divingstars I guess (though less classic shaped hands). Like the branded crown. Seems I'm the only one who like the old yellow!
I think the black polished hands will work really well on the lighter dials - I have Sekonda with a bumble-bee yellow dial and gloss black hands and the contrast is excellent. It's a cheap, quartz chrono, but the dial and hands really pop.
Silver hands wouldn't, IMO, work as well on the yellow dial (as I'm sure Eddie has decided for the best of reasons - He's seen the watches!)
I think it's such a good idea, in fact, that I wish I could get on with yellow dials, but I know I don't, so I will be looking at black.

The 12 - 6 measurement includes the lugs, which is an important measurement when considering how it sits on the wrist. The 3 - 9 measurement is excluding the crown.
Can't wait to see photos of the actual watches. The render(s) of the yellow & blue, especially before the change of the hue, has a Pogue-vibe (which was Gold and blue)
I get the comments about / comparison to the Doxa 200 but am surprised the Jenny Caribbeans are not being mentioned.
These are beautiful pieces at a much more palpable price than Doxa's offerings.
Great !
I like the look of the old Jenny / OW watches.
The black one looks awesome.
Looking forward to these nice watches.
I think that this colour combination was an early prototype which isn't due to go to production, yet perfect to my eyes.
All you'd need to add is a Doxa style orange silicone strap and it's the only summer watch I'll ever wear. [emoji20]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...09506bbe19.jpg
Think this is a great update, and the changes are definitely for the better (at least for me). The one thing I'd change is removal of the lume from the numerals. It's the only thing I don't enjoy about my Aerotimer, it looks less like a tool watch than a fairground ride at night with hands, indexes and outer numerals lit up.
But all that said, I'll be having one of these, will go perfectly with my '78 brown Scimitar :joyous: - just not sure which colour yet.
Was set on the orange, but the yellow/blue looks also extremely nice!
Looks great! Deffo going to try and get the orange!
Yep

Hi Eddie
I'm still holding out for one of the Orange dial versions :-)
Reading the recent comments on the yellow and blue and the proto of the orange and blue, would you consider making the bezels and aftermarket purchase.
I would happily purchase a blue bezel as part of the package.
Thanks
deano
I’m gutted! The orange dial and blue bezel were (in my opinion) perfect. If only ......
Orange and blue would probably have been my favourite as well but I think I'd struggle with the thickness anyway. Really looking forward to seeing the final product though.
It's one of my favourite of Eddies designs and the BoR bracelet finishes off the overall package perfectly.
I love the 60s Jenny / O&W / Philip Watch 1000 and 1500 series.
I don't think I've ever gone back to a thread as often as I do this one (well, maybe Norks).
