Normally I don't care for MoP dials, but this one looks really nice.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

There is also a 50 piece limited edition collab with BLVDier.

The Astor & Banks x BLVDier Fortitude

Price is $795 and only available to order from BLVDier:
https://www.blvdier.com/watch


This collaboration serves to highlight a few things. If you could encapsulate BLVDier’s aesthetic into a wristwatch, it would be this. We chose a navy blue dial, the most popular color in menswear and the base color of our brand. A nod to the gold accents in our new store, we chose to gilt the indices and hands to elevate the design. We’re engraving our badge on every caseback and numbering all 50 of the limited edition design (read below about reserving a specific number). And they’re made in America. We wanted this watch to be as unique as each piece of clothing we make and as limited as some of the fabrics we carry.

Paulin Neo - A collaboration with Scottish brand anOrdain, the Neo features an anodised aluminium dial, mechanical Seiko movement, bespoke typeface and unique design influences for a watch that really stands out.

https://www.paulinwatches.com/collections/neo/

Movement: Seiko NH35A (Automatic)
Lens: Hesalite box section PVC
Water resistance: 5ATM
Case: 316L stainless steel
Case diameter: 38mm
Case thickness: 12mm
Strap width: 18mm
Warranty: 24 months

Image

Bit pricey for the specs, but a decent looking watch nonetheless which clearly draws inspiration from the anOrdain enamel models. Website also claims 10% off upon newsletter subscription. Not sure if they remove VAT for non-EU buyers.

These are screaming to be in the 37-39mm range! So frustrating, but also unsurprising.

I do actually like the recessed Roman numerals. A solid update to the Jazzmaster lineup.

Nice! I'll be on the lookout for this one I think. Full lume dials are almost always cool. I really like the case. I'm even OK with "FANCY MATERIALS - NONE". The measurements confuse me a bit. I'm not sure if Case Height just means the vertical measurement without the lugs? Seems like it would equal or the "Case Size". Anyway, they have plenty of time to clarify I guess.

Yes sometimes "height" refers to lug-to-lug measurement. It is a bit weird that the "height" is bigger than the case size. Looks like there are virtually no lug, and I would think maybe the "size" includes the crown.

For $199 that looks very very compelling. Thanks for sharing

Edit: From Minxiang Yang on Facebook (who I assume is a co owner or something?):

No, I see it too. The case, bezel and crystal are all a bit different but the dial and handset seem pretty much the same.
