ZŪM Watches, aka Zoom Watches, which is a partner brand of Angles Watches, has launched their first Kickstarter campaign for the R1 automatic regulator.
There are things I do like about this watch, but there' s also WHOLE a lot of "disrupt the industry" gobbledygook that puts me off.
But this is still a good price for an automotive inspired regulator watch, at least for the first 48 hours.
Special 48 Hour pricing through 10/4 is $195
Kickstarter pricing is $230.
Regular price will be $399
Estimated delivery is January 2021
There are four colorways of the R1 available:
Specs:
- Movement: Seiko NH38 with regulator module
- Diameter: 42mm
- Thickness: 13mm
- Lug to lug: 45mm
- Lug width: 22mm
- Case: 316L Stainless Steel
- Crown: Screwdown
- Crystal: Sapphire with AR coating / Mineral crystal exhibition back
- Water Resistance: 10ATM / 100m

They have added a similar meca-quartz chrono for $139...!!!?? That is a very low price for a VK64 chrono.....?
Kinda looks like a budget version of the yet to be released Straton Comp Driver:

The Straton looks much nicer but will likely be twice as much, if it gets released
I can't help myself....I seem to like odd-looking watches - There are just too many similar watches out there
