The Giant Stride is our first self-funded release and we have spared no expense in developing and furnishing this beautiful watch with the highest level of components and finishing available in the sub-luxury market. The Giant Stride is our bold leap forward and is dedicated to those who take calculated risks and relish the opportunity to experience a brush with the unknown.
The Giant Stride will be strictly limited to 350 pieces total across the four dial colors - Combat Green, Slate Grey, Royal Blue, or Bull's Eye Red
Changes for production versions:
- Simplified dial layout (see colour renders) - brand name removed, logo enlarged and lowered down the dial. Giant Stride text removed
- Four micro-adjustments on the milled clasp - standard for the clasp is three, we’ve added a fourth
- Numerous minor technical improvements to elevate quality (case contouring, crown fitment etc)
- Lastly, we’re delighted to advise that our Giant Stride manufacturer is testing all bracelets to minimize the risk of the 1200HV hardness treatment impacting bracelet screws.

I appreciate how short they kept the lugs. I wonder if the the end links will really extend past the end of those lugs as the render suggests. The prototypes don’t seem to suffer from that issue.

Inquired with Peter from Second Hour about this new special edition of the Giant Stride. He expects it to be a bit higher priced than the previous versions since it incorporates a more expensive clasp and will be made in a limited quantity run so it will not benefit from quantity production savings. Said it will likely be around $850 AUD (currently $638 USD) and latest I've seen is that the pre-order will be offered towards the end of April.
