Audric sent out a timeline for their Seaborne dive watch that shows a Kickstarter launch in April and delivery in October.

A recent post from the Audric Facebook page:

Dear AUDRIC Family,

Hope you all are doing well and safe.

Due to the spread of COVID-19 all over the world, we are thinking to postpone the launch of our crowdfunding campaign which was earlier scheduled for April.

We would highly appreciate if you share your thoughts about this and propose a launch date so our team takes it into consideration.

Feel free to reply to this email with one of the options below:

April
May
June

We will make sure to keep you updated about the final decision. Our prayers are with those who are affected

Stay safe, Take care everyone!
AUDRIC Team

This Audric SeaBorne has definitely piqued my interest, particularly that sharp burgundy red dial with black bezel!
