NEWS: August 2020
Our year so far and what you can expect in the coming months.
At the end of 2019 we had finished all of our production and we were gearing up to begin working on the prototype for the Trekker 39mm. When the global problems associated with Covid caught up to us, it caused us delays that lasted months. With nothing we could do about this problem we just waited it out. Now we have the prototypes ready and the pre-order is open. Below you will find news on what we have going on, and what to look for in the near future...
Bronze Trekker 39mm
The bronze Trekker in 39mm will be the first new model available this year, we are expecting them to be ready at the end of August. We are producing a small limited run of 30 pieces that houses the Swiss ETA 2824 automatic movement and will ship on a Swiss rubber strap with matching bronze buckle. This watch was not prototyped, so the actual images will become available when the watch is ready. There is a Pre-Order open at this time with a refundable deposit.

SPECS
Water resistant to 300 meters with a box style sapphire crystal, domed on the inside which gives the Trekker dial a unique look when viewed from different angles. This case has straight sides like the previous 40mm Trekker, which makes it different from the upcoming steel version. The case will have drilled lugs and be paired with a Swiss made natural rubber strap with machined bronze buckle. More specs will be added to this page as we progress with development.

PATINA
This watch will be CNC machined, one watch at a time from a solid block of CuSn8 bronze. This bronze has a gold look to it at first and will begin aging with the owner as soon as you receive it. The natural patina that develops over time will be unique to your watch.

Looking Ahead: 2021
I'm sure we are all looking forward to 2021 at this point, I have high hopes for our future and will be working on a new field / pilot watch in a similar case that the new Trekker 39 uses. This will be a watch with a fixed decorative bezel and a pilot instrument style dial similar to the Raven Defender of the past. We have also purchased 50 Swiss GMT movements that will be used with this series as well.

Looking for a blue Trekker 39? We will also bring back the dark blue dial Trekker with blue ceramic bezel and optional yellow second hand in 2021.
