Phil from Visitor Watch Co. announced yesterday that he's signed the production order for the Duneshore Shallows with availability expected this fall. There have been a few changes from the original prototypes, yet to be specified. When this model was first announced four years ago, the dimensions were the same as the Duneshore Calligraph: 44mm width, 51mm lug to lug. The thickness has increased for more water resistance (200m), varying from 14 to 15.5mm due to the curved caseback. A 3mm thick sapphire crystal, 120-click bezel and C3 SuperLuminova round out the published specs. Other Visitors use the Miyota 9015. Pre-order price at the time was $750USD. Waitlist is expected to re-open in June.

The size and funky case make it a polarizing design, but I personally love Visitor's design language. It's unlike anything else out there. Just look at that caseback.

Stolen from his post:

"Watch name: Ocean Plastic Deep Blue

Case material: Recycled Ocean Plastic from Tide Oceans
Surface treatment: Matte
Dial color: Deep Blue
Strap: Woven recycled ocean nylon

Nice little watch, good price point, great environmental credentials.

I don’t surf, but then again I don’t fly jets or dive to 600m but have watches that enable me to do both"

I agree!

Forgive me if this has already been posted, but it is cool enough that I think you can forgive me.

Three color ways of gold silver and black. Drool...


PAC-MAN[emoji769] burst onto the arcade scene and helped create a whole new kind of entertainment way back in 1980. That was shortly after we introduced some of the first digital watches for mass production, marking a turning point both in timekeeping and the future of wristwatch design. To celebrate these two icons of that era and PAC-MAN’s 40th anniversary, we’re introducing a special edition of our T80 that features PAC-MAN right on the watch face. It features all the functions you’d expect from a T80, like an alarm, stopwatch and date display, but also plays the iconic PAC-MAN melody and has a retro flair to spare. The ‘80s just called – twice, actually – but we’re not giving these watches back.

The Pac Man melody seals the deal but I'm finding it for $350 on Ebay. That's a lot to swallow.

Yeah, it is MSRP of $79. $350 is nuts. Never seen it before yesterday. Not noted to be a LE and you can be emailed when it is back in stock.

Haven't seen this one posted here yet, so thought I'd share. This is one of the first micros I stumbled upon when I fell into the rabbit hole of WIS and I've been impressed with most of Michael's models over the past few years. Now, he is finalizing the design of his first diver. Prototypes should be in the works soon with a Summer 2020 pre-order/launch planned.
Link to Seals Sea Storm Write Up
Specs and Info:
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Case Diameter In Both 38mm and 40mm
Case Height 11.00 Without Crystal and 13.00mm With Crystal
Sapphire Crystal Domed With Anti-reflective Coating On The Inside
Lug To Lug Length Is 47mm
Lug Width Is 20mm
Rotating Bezel 120 Clicks, Unidirectional
Water Resistance Is 200 Meters
Screw-down Crown , Signed and 7.00mm Diameter
Case Material 316L Stainless Steel
FINISHING NOTES

Case finish of the "Sea Storm" will be comparable to its classical inspirations but more modern, consistent with our brand's DNA. The case sides will have a vertical satin-brushed finish. Between the lugs to be sandblasted as to protect of spring bar scuffing.

The top-down facing case surface will be circular satin-brushed and have a slight polished bevel outside the lug edges that tapers toward the case center.

MOVEMENT DETAILS

Caliber of choice is from the Miyota movement line, a Citizen Watch brand. We have selected both the 9015 and 9039. Each is an automatic watch movement, the 9015 has a date complication while the 9039 does not, making it a true no-date movement.

I really like the military version. Wondering if there is lume and how good it is. I have a meca quartz Gekota, pretty much same style and 1 mm bigger, this one has fantastic lume.

Also, domed acrylic crystal takes the thickness up to 15 mm... not sure, maybe if the flat crystal will be better. Would love to see real life wrist shots and review.

Overall, this is arguably the nicest ST19 Chrono out there.
Good eye, @Sussa!

Lastly, code WATCHUSEEK (that should not be mentioned here 😃), knocks 10% off.
