First Kickstarter from MMI Watches with their introductory model, the Dumbo 500M dive watch
There is way too many pricing levels with all the options (case material, movement, straps, etc) to type it all out, so they made a graph which I'll simply post here:
Our dive watch design concept is inspired by, is a deep-sea creature which dwells at 200-4800 meters beneath the ocean. The umbrella octopus species, aka Dumbo octopus, is the cutest octopus in the world.
The name “Dumbo” originates from their resemblance to 1941 Disney's film "Dumbo, the elephant", having a prominent ear-like fin which extends from the mantle above each eye.
The Dumbo octopuses use these ear-like fins to propel themselves through the water and arms to steer through water currents. Their arms are connected by a web of skin, causing them to resemble umbrellas when their arms are spread apart.
Unlike most octopuses, the Dumbo octopus doesn’t have an ink sac because it rarely encounters predators in the deep sea. Even so, they still have the distinctive octopus capability and ability to “flush” or “camouflage” themselves to their environment when danger occurs.

Re: PREORDER Preorder: Kickstarter: MMI Watches - Dumbo 500M dive watch
Looks like fun. I'm personally not a fan of the turtle style cases nor slanted date at 4 o'clock position, but I'm sure others will feel this watch campaign is attractive. I do like the fact enthusiasts can select the movement based on a couple of value proposition choices.
Make time to take time.

If there was no-date option, I'd be in for an NH35 Stainless Steel package.

My brain would hurt if they threw in another option like a no-date.
