We would like to give more details about the CREPAS HYDROGRAPHER model.
The movement, an ETA 2892-A2, would be modified at Switzerland to get a stem with only two positions: position 0 for manual winding and position 1 for setting the time. The stem position for stting the date would be removed, not only taking off the date disc, all the date system and stem positions would be modified to get only two position instead the three position.

It is possible to order the HYDROGRAPHER with the crown at 9 hour position.
The automatic helium valve would be placed at case back cover.

During 30 days any person could pre-reserve the watch with 50 euros. After that time, if we get 100 pre-orders, we will continue with the process, if not, we will refund all reserves taken. In case of success, the will collect 200 euros more, leaving the rest pending until one month before delivery. During the first 30 days the 50 euros paid can be returned if ordered, however, once the project is firm, no amount delivered is returned.
The price of the model is 850 euros (plus VAT 21% for EU residents) however, first 100 pieces will be offered for 699 euros (plus VAT 21% for EU residents), the rest of the watches sold during the manufacturing period will have a price of 799 euros (plus VAT 21% for EU residents). Once the production is ready for delivery, the price will be 850 euros.
