C-02 Sonar edition:
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.

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?
As we assembled each piece in our workshop, we offer this option for FREE ! just let us know if you want a regular or lefty at the end of your pledge.

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

Yes, their website says it is (under tech specs):

I love the added inner ring with hours.

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.
