SUCCESSFUL : Kickstarter: TC-9 Watches - The Ultimate Edition 1970s Diver in Solid Bronze

Post by TheJohnP »

TC-9 has launched their latest version of the 1970s Diver, aka "The Ultimate Edition" in Solid Bronze.


Early Bird pricing is around $238
Kickstarter pricing is around $263
Regular price will be about $437

Estimated delivery is August 2020

This is version 7 of the iconic TC-9 1970s Diver watch that was originally launched in 2016 and went on to be a global success - with most versions now sold out. We received hundreds of positive comments for this watch and so many requests to update it and bring it back again - so here it is. It's a classic turtle divers case inspired by the divers watches of the 1970s. This is a bespoke made case, only made by TC-9. You cannot buy this case anywhere else and it has proven itself time and again to be the best turtle designed case available today.

5 dial options. All dials are finished with multiple coatings of Lume and glow very, very brightly.

I had an odd experience with V1: the patina didn't uniformly develop. There was a narrow, noticeable band of raw, non-affected brass all around the case next to the bezel. Some would like it, I did not. (Curse my OCD.)
Just my $0.02 USD as always.
