Liking this a lot: no date and the blue versions are nice. The lug length at 52 will be hanging over my small wings.
 
​A very handsome offering, in some very impressive executions. Thanks Mike.
 
Another sharp looking 3 hand so many watches & so little money.:no:
 
I like this metallic blue, but it's only offered in a no-date, which I normally would prefer. They all use the same movement. I'm not a fan of that ghost first position on the crown where date function would normally be controlled. The date version would be my choice to avoid the ghost position on the crown. One good thing is the date wheel is black.

These are pretty nice. Sandwich dial. A no dater. Gruppo does a really good lume job as well. I like ‘em!
 
Seems a bit overpriced at a pre-order price of $749, What am I missing?

I agree Mark. I'm not a fan of the brand, their watches are always overpriced. The Prometheus Eagle Ray was $499.50 for the 2824-2 and 607.50 for GMT or meteorite versions, on a bracelet and with grade X1 lume.

Since the very beginning of the Swiss Super-LumiNova® era, we have always put a lot of efforts in improving its performance steadily. Different research projects have led to Grade A and now to the superior Grade X1 quality. The three available Swiss Super-LumiNova® qualities are:


  • Standard Grade
  • Grade A
  • Grade X1

The new Swiss Super-LumiNova® Grade X1 shows a performance increase of up to 60% after two hours compared to the standard grade. By using Swiss Super-LumiNova® Grade X1, the legibility according to the ISO 3157 standard will be extended by at least a factor of 1.6 on the long term.

Swiss Super-LumiNova® Grade X1 defines a new quality standard of night visibility on your watch, which has never been seen before.
