But $700 for a 2801 is steep.

Just got an email from Watches.com that they have the 25 out of 100 units that are earmarked for US.
Price is $245
https://www.watches.com/products/mr-jon ... ed-edition
More about the designer and the design:
This limited edition watch was designed by American comic creator Ryan Claytor. Ryan talks about his design:
"In carnival shooting galleries, the player is limited to a particular amount of time to accrue the highest score based on the number of targets hit. The rotation of the 'Step Right Up' dials offer a playful take on this time-worn tradition of moving targets and finite time."

From my understanding, no country does.
Which is why you can see "Made in Germany" watches with Miyota movements.

Re: 2020 New and Upcoming Releases!
It's complicated:)
here's an excerpt from the Wikipedia entry for 'Swiss Made':
Swiss made is a label or marker used to indicate that a product was made or assembled in Switzerland or the geographic Swiss region.[1] According to the Swiss Federal Act on the Protection of Trade Marks and Indications of Source, a good or service may be designated "Swiss made" if:[2]
For food products: 80% of the weight of the raw materials and the essential processing must take place in Switzerland.
For industrial products: 60% of the manufacturing costs and the essential manufacturing step must occur in Switzerland.
For services: the company headquarters and administration must be located in Switzerland.
Most often associated with watches or timepieces made in Switzerland, Swiss law considers a watch to be Swiss made if its movement is Swiss, if the movement has been assembled in the Swiss region, its final inspection occurred in Switzerland, and at least 60% of manufacturing costs are domestic.[3] Besides the "Swiss made" requirements, watches may carry the Swiss movement ("Swiss Movt") marker if at least half of the assembled parts are of Swiss manufacture.[3] In addition to "Swiss made" and "Swiss Movt", under Swiss law watches may carry the words "Suisse", "produit suisse", "fabriqué en Suisse", "qualité suisse" or simply the English translation, "Swiss".[3]

Undone is launching the SpaceXplorer on 10 August. No specs on the site yet, except that it will have "full dial glow." The design pays homage to the SpaceX Dragon 2. Retail will be $359 USD, limited edition of 300 pieces.
I like the unique design, especially the hands, but it's unlikely to get much wear for me.

Re: 2020 New and Upcoming Releases!
The Oris Holstein chronograph came out over a month ago but I never got around to posting it. What's notable for me is that it includes the first fully bronze bracelet from a major brand. Previously, whenever I would see people bring up the notion of a bronze bracelet, invariably someone would say something like "Do you want your wrist to turn green? Why do you think the caseback is never made of bronze." I just assumed these people knew more about bronze than I do and were correct about this. Oris apparently didn't. How long until other brands start making bronze bracelets for their watches?

Not one of those people, but can't help but notice that the caseback isn't bronze.

Re: 2020 New and Upcoming Releases!
Below is what one Hodinkee staff member mentioned about the bracelet. And another speculated that the caseback isn't bronze because the corrosion might cause the caseback to bond to the case so that it could become difficult to remove the caseback.
I briefly chatted with Oris and during their testing they didn't experience anyone getting green wrists from the watch. Oris also mentioned that it's the same bronze used in the Bico, (https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/oris- ... ntroducing) which has been out for some time. So we can look at the center links of the Bico for a look at how the watch might look over time.
