Hi folks,
Here is my next watch for sale. I just picked up a new one, so had to pick one to move out.
This is a special edition from Lew and Huey (now Janis Trading) out of the US. The watch was created as a special project through Watchuseek after the James Bond movie 'Spectre' - obviously inspired (a little tongue-in-cheek) by Omega's Seamaster 300 James Bond edition. The details on this watch are a lot of fun (have a look at the case back details). For Lew and Huey, 'Orthos' is their own model which served as a framework for this project watch. It was a thoroughly enjoyable project to have been a part of, the product is excellent, and I enjoyed making it part of my 'rotation' - but having just added a new one to the group, I had to pick one to go. With reluctance, I am parting with my Blue Date Commander 300, one of only 20 made.
Briefly, this model is an automatic diver powered by a Seiko NH35 movement, with a domed, antireflective-coated sapphire crystal. Has a unidirectional bezel, stainless case and bracelet, and is WR to 300m. Full specs are listed on the Lew and Huey/Janis website for their Orthos model
The condition of this watch is quite good, with a couple of tiny hairline scuffs on the case back, and a bezel ding at the :07 position (pictured under harsh light below). The bracelet itself is immaculate, as I never actually wore it except to size it when it first arrived. I have worn it exclusively with the matching NATO strap. I am keeping the worn NATO, but an identical unworn one will be included with the sale (pictured).
The watch will come with everything that was with it when I received it - watch, travel case, bracelet (all extra links included). I am also including a brand new matching NATO strap which was the result of a side project as this watch was being produced
The Orthos models are a bit over $900 Canadian ($674 USD) new from Lew and Huey/Janis.
I am asking $650 Canadian for local purchase, or $670 shipped anywhere in Canada. Reasonable offers are of course welcome, as are questions.
Thanks for looking!
Ken
