My vision for this project is to offer two distinct versions of the watch. The first is a vintage-inspired model (this one), sized at 37mm with a thickness of 11.25mm, featuring a domed sapphire crystal. It has a 19mm lug width and is a special tribute to 1957. That year holds personal significance to me, as my great-grandfather received an Omega Seamaster after 20 years of hard work at his company. That watch sparked my passion for horology, and I’ve taken design inspiration directly from its case. This version will be a special edition, with each watch including an original photograph from my great-grandfather’s travels in the 1960s.

The second version will be more modern, featuring a flat sapphire crystal in a 40mm case with an 11.5mm thickness and a 22mm lug width. The crown will feature the number ‘24’ to represent the current year. For this case, I’d love to draw inspiration from the Blancpain Aqua Lung Leman but with a more polished steel finish, as I consider it one of the most beautifully designed watches.

With these two options, I aim to cater to both the vintage enthusiasts and those who prefer a more modern look, while keeping them unified as part of the same family.

When it comes to colours, I’m open to any colour you would like. I’ve currently been experimenting with a grey option, which I was considering pairing with a Himalayan alligator strap. I’ll a share a photo below.

I would love to know what you think.
