SUCCESSFUL: Kickstarter: Aragon - Parma 2 bronze dive watch

Post by TheJohnP »

Aragon isn't a new brand, and this isn't even their first Kickstarter. Either way, they have just launched their latest campaign for the Parma 2 bronze diver with Swiss movement.

This does appear to be Aragon's first bronze watch.


Mother of Pearl dial Kickstarter pricing is $545
Damascus steel dial Kickstarter pricing is $595
Meteorite dial Kickstarter pricing is $645

Estimated delivery is May 2020

Parma 2 bronze will be available in three dial variants with only 100 units of each made.
You also have the choice between a 45mm or 50mm diameter case.

I won’t be caught dead wearing a 45mm x 17mm, 200m WR watch.

It looks really good, regardless. An update over his regular designs.

But with trends moving toward smaller watches, I wished he’d stop making watches for 9” wrists.
