PREORDER: Brand Direct: Circula Watches - SuperSport Super Compressor **CO-CREATION OPPORTUNITY**

Post by TheJohnP »

Circula Watches out of Germany is offering an opportunity to help co-create their next model, the SuperSport Super Compressor!

Sign up for the Co-Creation here - https://circulawatches.com/en/supersport/

HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?

Preorder price will be €699 with steel bracelet & Tropic rubber strap (roughly $847.22)
Regular price will be:
- €799 with steel bracelet & Tropic rubber ($968.43)
- €699 with Tropic rubber only (roughly $847.22)


HOW DOES THE CO-CREATION WORK?

When you signed up, you’ll get instant access to our co-creation website. Once we’ll update the page with the current question, you have 7 days to bring in your feedback and ideas. Afterwards the comments section closes, and we’ll take some time to realize suitable suggestions. Then, we’ll bring the final proposals to a vote. After another 7 days, the survey closes, and we’ll continue with the most popular version(s) and the next round of suggestions.

Every cycle we focus only on the given aspect of the watch:
1. Specs, 2a. Case details, 2b. Dial and hands design, 3a. colors, 3b. straps.

WHY JOIN THE CO-CREATION?

It is a unique opportunity to influence the creation of a watch with your own ideas and participate in regular polls. Our previous dive watch, the Circula AquaSport, was also co-created with members of the biggest German watch forum, resulting in a great retro watch, meeting the highest demands of watch experts.

WHAT IS THE NEW CIRCULA SUPERSPORT?

As a 3rd generation family business, we stand for high-quality mechanical watches with an authentic retro design. In that line, the new SuperSport will be a Super-Compressor diving watch, which were first launched in the 1950s. The special thing about the SuperSport is, that it is not just a Super-Compressor-style watch (i.e., two crowns and inner rotating bezel), but also includes a real Compressor-function, which we developed during the past year. Thus, the case back is compressed by water pressure for better sealing.

WHAT ARE THE PROPOSED SPECS?

- Case: 39mm diameter, 46mm lug-to-lug, 12-13mm height, 20mm lug width
- Sellita SW-200-1 Swiss automatic movement
- 200 or 300 meters water-resistant (to be tested) with solid steel case back
- 316L stainless steel case with compressor function
- Curved sapphire crystal, anti-reflective coated on the inside
- Unidirectional inner rotating bezel
- Swiss Super-LumiNova® C3 (X1 Grade) filled hands and indexes
- Steel bracelet & Tropic rubber strap

RESULT OF THE 2ND VOTING ON DIAL/HANDS DESIGN AND COLORS

In this round with 500 votes, we got a clear result for the dial design and the two colors. For the hands, it was not that clear if you combine the result for the alternatives and compare it to the starting proposal. Also, for the third color no clear preference could be derived. Thus, we decided to bring into the 3rd and last voting not only the choice of bracelets, but also two final hands sets to choose from and new proposals for a third color.

RESULT OF THE 3RD VOTING ON LIMITED EDITION, HANDS SET AND BRACELET

At the end of the final voting, we now have 40mm Super Compressor in three beautiful color combinations: black/orange with black date, petrol/yellow with white (C3 lumed) date and gray/blue as a 99 pieces limited edition without date. The hands from the beginning were the most popular ones and will thus go into production. As bracelet the H-Link was chosen to accompany the black tropic rubber. Over the course of two month an incredible total over 4500 votes were given on 12 questions. Thank you all for participating and creating this great watch!
