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
