The "Sonar" edition is an interesting project as well. It will be a public version of a French Commandos Special Akrone was already making. Dial is a Green sunray color with Gilt touch of color. The second hand is in gilt (like gold) color as well.

Stainless bracelet is an added cost:
Always wanted to wear a watch with the crown on the other side? Maybe because you are left handed or just don't like the crown hurting your hand?

Looks amazing. Is it an aluminum bezel on the regular C-02 editions? Cannot seem to find any mention of the material.

Thanks for posting! I have been thinking about getting a colourful dive watch. I was tempted to get the Sonar by Collins (yellow or green), but use of Sellita held me back (I have had bad experiences with them). I much prefer the Miyota here. It would have been really nice if they used the 90S5 (no date) vs the 9015. My fav out of the variants here is the Sonar green.
