Looks great Eddie.
Having now secured the movements (Sellita SW510MP B, fully decorated) this will make an appearance next year.

Looks great Eddie.
superb!
Looks superb, probably too large for me but very pretty. Any update on the possible Commando/Comacchio? Would love to see it with indices as opposed to numerals.

Case thickness?

Now that I like. My P3133 powered piece will tide me over until this one starts to take shape.
Can it have a crystal caseback? That movement is too pretty to hide it behind a solid back. Also, drilled lugs perhaps? - I imagine a lot of these will be worn on leather.
F.T.F.A.
Another winner for sure there.
Does a single button chrono operate in this press order: start - stop - reset the timer? I've seen them but never really thought about them before.
Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better...
I quite like that...
Superb, the render makes that like like a full lume dial, is it?
I think so too. Sellita doesn't make a hand wound version.
The two watches I know with this movement... one is 15mm and the other 16mm thick. If it means fitting a press-fit back to reduce the thickness that might be a way to go.
Alternatively, increasing the case to 42mm will also help to hide the thickness.

Very much liking the look of that.
Would be nice if it had a display case back.
Do we know what sort of price range it would be?
Cheers,

Looks lovely.
I am interested that the black dial version seems to use the no-radiation hand design, with no lume (Old Radium lume is on the dial only, hands are identified as white, and the night time shot shows no lume on the hands)
Is it intended that the black dial revert to the original HS9 syringe design, or will the no-rad hands be lume covered?
And please consider whipping the rotor off the movement to slim the case down to more original dimensions.

These look great and I quite like the full lume version.
The only change I would make is to add pencil style hands with lume on the black dial
The hands are historically accurate for the non lume originals but having a lume dial and non lume hands could be a deal breaker for me and my OCD.
However looks great and I have been wishing someone would make one of these of a while.

Would it be possible for the full lume to have the colour of the lume white (as in "Damasko white") that turns into green in the dark? With jet-black hands.
I've had a full lume Damasko and the transition is magical.

That looks very interesting!
Will keep an eye on how this develops....
Another winner Eddie, I especially like the hands. Drilled lugs would certainly be a preference.
So my wish list now has a Navigator, an Artificer and a......? Any thoughts on a name?

I think the lume on Damasako watches is C1 (unless they've changed that since I owned a DA37) and whilst it looks (a lovely) white in daytime I'd prefer to have the brightness of the C3 lume during nighttime.

That looks stunning, Eddie - I've always fancied a monopusher Chronograph and this one looks lovely. As others have said, syringe hands on the black dial would be a winner, but I'd probably go for the full-lume one myself. I look forward to seeing one in the flesh...
Damn another one for the list, this is going to be lovely.
Count me out for Version B though, full C3 is too gimmicky for me.
Too many nice watches turning up just when I need a new heating system; be using the log burner then!!!

Really like the black dial version (especially the lume shot).
Not bothered whether manual or auto (having a Speedy Pro and an El Primo).
Is this modelled any particular watch from the past - not familiar with the style but many TS watches do echo older designs?
Looks very promising, will be watching this one develop over the coming months. Black dial is the nicest but would prefer hands with matching lume to the dial.

Really like that and at 40mm I will be looking to buy one.
That really appeals to me. I think I’ll try to bag one.
As in The Lemania Royal Navy Nuclear Submarine I believe.
I was not sure if I'd prefer no lume and black hands or Eddie's choice of full C3 lume and blued hands. I like Eddie's recent editions using blued hands and if the lume can be as white as possible in daylight then I think that would my choice. And a solid case back is not a problem from my point of view.
Wow - looks fantastic; not sure how you keep churning all these excellent watches out 👍
It isn't a full-lume dial and I've asked for a render with syringe hands like the Expedition. The cream dial (same colour as the Expedition dial) would have heat blued hands and the dial printing would be dark blue. Like all projects, this is "work in progress" and will no doubt be tweaked several times. One of my current projects is on revision 14.

No, you are right, my apologies. The asymmetric cases were later, my mistake. No Rad single pushers came in both flavours, round case and asymmetric,this clearly uses the latter as the inspiration.
I am glad the black one is to get syringe hands, and glad the white is not going to be a full lume dial, even though that is exactly what is pictured.

This looks great. I would have preferred full lume but now will probably try for the black version.
Also very interested in a revised 14!
No need to apologise, discussion is what we visit the forum for.
I too am glad that the black one might get syringe hands as that would be preferred purchase at the moment. However the 'non radioactive' white dial is a very handsome watch in its original guise. Maybe the best best looking military issued watches and its as rare as hens teeth
A cream dial will look better with blued hands than white, but might it be a shade or two lighter than the Expedition, please?
