The Ventus Mori 2 and Northstar Divers


The Mori first launched in 2017 and it was extremely well received for its wearable size, classic design and solid build. We are proud to bring the Mori back with some new colors and a ceramic bezel for select variants. The ceramic bezel offers excellent scratch resistance compared to the previous aluminum bezel inserts used.

The Northstar was launched on Kickstarter earlier in 2019 and we have finished all deliveries to our backers. We are opening up orders on our site and these will deliver in time for Christmas if you order quick!

The Mori 2 retains the same classic design of the first Mori, with the addition of ceramic bezel inserts for some models. Build quality has also been improved to offer more value than before. New models have also been introduced, along with some of the previous favorites.

M?ri Motonari

“The legend of the three arrows” is a story about M?ri Motonari. In an effort to get his sons to work together, he gave them each an arrow to break. This was done easily, and he challenged his sons to repeat it with three arrows bound together. This proved to be unbreakable.

Our Design Philosophy - Inspired by the past, built for the future

From the lesson of M?ri Motonari, we wanted to design an awesome diver's watch by focusing on 3 aspects. The 'Three Arrows' story is reflected on the dial, when the dive bezel triangle, dial triangle and Ventus logo line up.

Aesthetic Design

The Ventus Mori was designed with the diving watches of the 1950s in mind.

A highly legible dial and an unimposing case gives it a rugged elegance. The Mori is a watch that fits under your shirt cuff, yet tough enough to be taken on a dive.

The case is also made from Brass, a material which patinas as you wear it. This makes each watch unique to its owner and every watch will have its own story to tell.

The dial is produced with a sandwich effect which gives a sense of depth to it. The dial design was kept clean and legible, with a date wheel printed in matching colors to the luminous paint.

Mechanical craftsmanship

Even though the Mori looks like a watch from the 1950s, it has been designed with the latest advancements in technology. Its slim 12.5mm case (without crystal) is able to withstand a very respectable 300m of water pressure.

To commemorate its vintage roots, the caseback features a diving helmet design that has been stamped to give it an amazing 3D effect.

The double domed sapphire crystal ensures scratch resistance during dives. A 120 click unidirectional dive bezel keeps precise timing and the brightest C3 or BGW9 superluminova glows brightly in the murky depths.

Inside, a reliable Seiko NH35 automatic movement ensures that your watch will run for years without ever needing a battery.

Production Quality

Each watch is built to last and this will be achieved through precise production and careful assembly techniques. Having worked with our production partner on many projects, we are confident that quality will exceed expectations.

$49.00 is a good price for the bracelet in either SS or PVD finish. Borealis is charging $85.00 for the same style.

There were some minor issues with my OEM Borealis bracelet, but enhanced my Sea Storm.
 
I can appreciate the difference Gregg. Most times a bracelet can change the look of a watch for the better and OEM end links give it a finished overall look. Congrats on the addition.

Just delivered ! Wow, that was fast ! This is really a nice watch, I highly recommend. Great case design, wears large for a 40mm.
I have 1 Zelos, 1 Ventus now, and 1 Axios on pre-order. One watch from each of the family of companies.
 
Yesterday shipped from Singapore and today, 9400 km. away, delivered in The Netherlands! Thanks to DHL (and Ventus for using this carrier.)

So I got my Brass/green Northstar and what an amazing watch it is...
I was afraid that 40 mm. would be on the small side for my 7+ inch wrist, but I was wrong. More than enough wrist presence and the low weight just feels so comfortable.

It came on the tropic strap but I,ve changed that right away for the leather Horween strap (and transferred the brass buckle).

Here a few photos.

Well, didn't expect this on 1st day of 2020 but I received my Ventus Northstar N-7 Forest Green.

Looks a lot more stunning in real life than the ones in picture. I particularly loved the classy colour combination with the brass case, it has that vintage, not overly show-off and low profile feel.
