Thanks for the info. Tempting. But really, at this point, I wish all the watches available were big, ugly, and expensive so I wouldn't be tempted anymore.claus1100xx wrote: ↑Tue May 05, 2020 4:01 pmCoupon 125SUN20 will bring these down by $125.Boourns wrote: ↑Thu Apr 30, 2020 4:09 pm Chris Ward announced its new C60 today. The big deal is a blue sapphire dial that's .6mm thick. Looks very interesting in the pics. You can actually see through the glass and make out the date wheel and movement. I imagine it's pretty striking in person.

If you switch over to AUD instead of USD and apply 170SUN20 as a coupon you are able to knock off another $100 or so. This is sooooo tempting. Please somebody order this and let us live vicariously through you!pdsf wrote: ↑Wed May 06, 2020 12:42 pmThanks for the info. Tempting.

Blue with 12 hour would be my pick. But I think I'm going to wait for the universa.

Re: 2020 New and Upcoming Releases!
It's tough to choose when both colorways look so good. Luckily for me I already have enough blue watches so grey was the obvious choice for me. Plus I prefer the mint seconds tip on the grey since it's more unique than the orange on the blue.

For those on the fence, Jason sent an updated email clarifying some questions.yellowbear wrote: ↑Sun May 10, 2020 4:15 pm Halios Fairwind preorders will go live on Monday, May 11th at 12PM Vancouver BC, Canada (Pacific) time.

The 12-hour steel bezel won't be available for this rendition.
The bracelet clasp will have an tool-less micro-adjustable clasp for those who are on the fence. (think Rolex and Monta clasps)
Based on the updated pictures, it appears that it will likely have 2 holes in the lugs for strap/bracelet versatility.
While I'm not a fan of the secondary market scalpers of this brand, this is a great value at the MSRP.
