The Esoteric Bathyal comes from the minds of Shane Snider (Watcha Group) and Christian Champion (Ocean Crawler). Together they are launching this new model that will be available in the blue (Azul) you see here, a green dial, a greyish black dial and an all DLC version which will have a full lume bezel. The story goes that the two were discussing some of their favorite vintage pieces and fast forward and the Bathyal is the result of all those conversations. While Christian already has an established watch brand, they wanted to create a new brand as the design ethos of both is very different. When I first saw the initial renderings of the Bathyal, I liked it but was not in love with it. That changed once the prototype showed up for review.

A VERY impressive, mid size, automatic, three hand, design, in some outstanding executions, from ESO!:dance2:Thanks for posting this up, Mike.:hat:
 
The more I see of this ESO, the more I like, however, 44mm case is bit big on my 16cm wrist.
The Green Dial variant is very appealing, and the L2L is 48mm so good there!
