Model Naming
We are often asked how we came up with the model numbers for our watches. Below is a brief explanation for each model. In summary, it's all to do with the angles!
Model 135
- Octagonal design.
- An octagon has eight angles, each measuring 135°.
- Also, in engineering terms, the typical included angle of a split point twist drill is also 135°
Model 136
- As per the Model 135, but in a reduced size measuring 36mm.
- Made at the request of a repeat customer for smaller wrists.
Model 210
- Square design, with four hexagonal pockets.
- A square has four angles, each measuring 90°. A hexagon has six angles, each measuring 120°.
- Therefore, 90 + 120 = 210.
Model 405
- A more refined rounded design, but with defined chamfers.
- A circle has 360°. The chamfers are cut at a 45° angle.
- Therefore, 360 + 45 = 405.
Model 525
- A round divers inspired watch, with chamfers, and hexagonal markers on the dial.
- A circle has 360°. The chamfers are cut at a 45° angle. A hexagon has six angles, each measuring 120°.
- Therefore, 360 + 45 + 120 = 525.
Model 525-DG
- As per the Model 525, but with a vintage submarine depth gauge inspired dial.
- DG = Depth Gauge
