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.

[swanbourne]

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?

Polished black on the yellow and orange dials for greater contrast.

Omega has shown that an orange bezel on a black dial are a working combination...

[number2]

Polished black on the yellow and orange dials for greater contrast.

Eddie

Yellow with blue bezel please.

[sjedwardz]

My birthday is mid June so that’s me sorted

I need some colour so yellow or Orange.

[sish101]

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.

[200mwaterresistant]

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.

[gerard]

Black (traditional) for me. Hopefully I remember when the store opens!

Me too; I thought I was the only one being boring!

[Sergi_c05]

They look awesome. Another yellow with blue bezel here, please

[chrisrennie44]

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.

[deano42]

Thought I read recently, on another thread, May/June timeframe for release.

Have you decided on a color ?

Thanks for the info. I think its the Orange for me :-)

Loving the slight updates Eddie.

Thanks

Latest newsletter from Eddie confirms he's still heading for a June delivery, in case anyone doesn't get it.

Watch looks great. Looks like I’m waking up early in California for this one.

[Stuart]

Chaged the yellow, changed the orange and changed the logo on the crown.

I don’t understand the sizing specs. Please kindly elucidate: is the diameter, excluding the crown, 40 or 45? Thanks.

[ETCHY]

That is bloody stunning.

Great job.

[Dave+63]

It’s 40mm horizontally (9-3) and 45mm vertically (12-6).

I’m not sure how thick it is though, there’s no info on that but it looks quite tall.

Post #11 in this thread - thickness is 15.6mm

If ten were made he'd probably not sell them all , waste of time making ladies watches.

The Lady Bird sold out in minutes. I bought two one for my Wife and one for my Daughter.

[klunk]

Anybody like to hazard a guess as to the likely price of these?

[Drumcairn01]

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, upthread, Eddie indicated that they would likely be a bit over £500.

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.

How can it have different horizontal and vertical dimensions when it’s round?! Please - how many millimetres excluding the crown? (Without just quoting the given spec sheet pse).

[size11s]

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.

[Passenger]

I had to go back and check, you're spot on... he said not north of a thousand, closer to half that but probably above 500...I'll have a guess at around 650 pounds.

[MHe225]

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.
